Model Information:
The following describes the standard equipped BenRom SD 10.
- An all-pull changer with 3 raise and 3 lower
- The changer fingers are mounted on a ½ inch axle which is case hardened to an approximate Rockwell 50, in order to eliminate flexing in this part and thereby contributing to less cabinet drop.
- The changer fingers are made from brass, which has nice tonal features.
- The keyhead end of the strings have gauged rollers made out of brass as well. The roller grooves are machined to the correct depth/width ratio according to the gauge of each string.
- Through-the finger-installation of strings, thereby eliminating the need for that third hand when changing strings.
- Four pedals and five knee levers, set up to the individual’s preferred E9th copedent.
- All major parts like end plates, changer mount, and key head are milled out of solid stock which is 6061 T6 aluminum
- Stainless steel hardware like nuts and bolts is used throughout.
- Single coil BenRom pickup. However any pickup can be installed to the user’s preference for a small additional fee.
- Well known quality Sperzel tuners in the key head.
- Polished stainless steel legs from Don Burrows. Length to user’s specs
- Choice of hard maple, Birdseye maple or Curly Maple in body and wood neck. Finished with instrument lacquer.
- All visible parts have a polished finish: End plates, key head, changer housing, knee levers and pedals and pedal bar. Under carriage parts including cross shafts and bell cranks have a fine-sanded matte finish.
