Brand New, Sealed in box, well designed with great woodworking and quality metal machined parts -- The Prelude. The Prelude is just the wheel for beginners or perhaps a second Kromski wheel for others. It has the look of an antique wheel and the high degree of wood turning that the Kromskis are famous for, but it also has all the touches modern spinners expect. This listing is for a mid tonal range orangish brown MAHOGANY FINISH. (for best visual example see the Copper Moose Kromski Polonaise listing.) The Prelude is a single drive wheel; a first for the Kromskis. It uses the same bobbins as all the other Kromski wheels. This means that, as you consider adding a second or third Kromski wheel, you know your bobbins will work with all the different models. Easy to treadle, easy to transport, and has an 18" diameter wheel (same as the Kromski Minstrel) for excellent ratios. If you like, you can swivel the mother-of-all in line with the bench for a more compact "package" when moving the wheel or for storage. The Prelude is made of European alder and birch. No Kromski wheel has any plastic parts and as such makes the perfect wheel for reenactors.
