Here’s my Kinal. Beautiful purpleheart. Hope to own a bigger one with strings some day.

- I bought one many years ago in beautiful Flame Maple. Best looking string winder to be had anywhere!
Over the years the box portion that goes over the key separated - after all, they are hand assembled/glued pieces. I dropped in a little wood glue and put a nice heavy rubber band around it.

Fixed for life!

His instruments are quite lovely. I'm with you!!!!

Not many posts on here, but I have an SK-21 coming next week. After 8 bazillion unstable necks from other brands, played while in my frequently-gigging cover band, I hope a Kinal will do the trick!

love my Kinal and it is very stable.

Maybe a bit off topic but the key to neck stability is keeping a consistent humidity where you keep your basses regularly. I’ve learned that lesson the hard way with a carved upright bass and expensive repairs. A bass kept for a month in a room with a constant 50% humidity can sit out for a gig in 100 degree sun or a cold evening gig where you wish you could wear gloves. If it’s all over the place with dry winter heat or over humid summers, that’s when the basses that are built with marginal woods get compromised.

Best of luck with the Kinal, they’re great.
