Comments from Minstrel spinners
I purchased my Kromski Minstrel two weeks ago, and the more I spin on it the more I like it. It does not matter what thickness of yarn I want to produce, it will oblige effortlessly. Spinning fine has always been somewhat labor intensive, but not on the Minstrel: treadling is easy and the draw constant. Spinning has never been so much fun. By the way, I am selling all my other spinning wheels: two XXXXX and three YYYYY. The Minstrel is light and compact, and travels beautifully. Good luck on your purchase, I think the Minstrel is a bargain.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with my new Kromski
Minstrel. A 12 year old girl and I put it together in about an hour and
everything went together beautifully! I have been spinning on it daily
and am so pleased with this wheel. It is not only very easy to spin on,
it's also beautiful. I am so glad I decided to buy one and will cherish
it for many years to come. Thanks so much.

I tried a friend's Minstrel the other day. The wheel is so much prettier in
person that the web images can even convey. Form and function all in one!

I bought the Minstrel and am very happy that I did. Not
only is it beautiful, it is a joy to spin on. I probably would have
been equally happy with a Symphony but...I just felt more comfortable
sticking with a castle style for now. Maybe I'll add a Symphony when
our ship comes in!
