I was looking for some aluminum cones about 1.5" tall. There are tons of brass but almost no aluminum. Audio Advisor only has small Michell tenderfeet; I'd like the large ones or another source. TG Audio had Pointy Things + pasties, but ....
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jeff

Bob didn't want to do the pointy things and pasties anymore - badman 15:59:37 12/04/05 (1)
He at one point asked me to take over the production of them, but it wasn't within my power to get them in reasonable quantity/pricing. Basically, they're aluminum, with a shoulder. The shoulder is, according to bob, crucial to the performance.
- Yes, I know all that. I also talked to Bob quite a bit, but ... - jeffrt 16:09:22 12/04/05 (0)
  Hardly have the heart to ask one of his dealers if they have any left in stock ...

        ...I found that out a long time ago without even asking Bob :-)
        BTW, there's a classic industrial band of the same name:

        When I first met Bob several years ago we discussed what TG stood for... and yes.. it's Throbbing Gristle. His wife had remembered the name of the band (Throbbing Gristle) from the late 70's/early 80's, which is when they peaked. They've stayed loosely together and are now recording again. Same band as linked above.

        ...and just for the record, I believe it refers to a male naughty bit (no web links to authenticate, sorry)...

        You are absolutely correct. I saw them in concert in Chicago around 1985. They had a large scrim stretched behind them on-stage and rear projected specific scenes from porn flics that made it very clear what their inspiration was.
