I believe Heir only does full shells 

I was thinking the opposite

 mine are so light I just assumed they were empty shells?!

 

[sly_in_the_sky]

normally it's easy to see if it's empty or full.... it's an important question to me, can someone confirm please?

 

[Sorensiim]

I think FullCircle or BangkokKid should be able to shed some light on the matter...

My 4.A has no fill.

I have another custom with a partial fill (basically the length of the nozzle plus a little), and to be honest, while the ambient noise blocking is improved the difference in practice is not as great as you'd think.

There is a useful explanation of why in some Starkey literature I read a while back: if the environment is sufficiently loud the sound is going to be conducted through your bones as much as through the ear canal, and the law of diminishing returns apply.

Thank you for your explanations...
 
Is it possible to send them to reparation if they break (the shell)?

 

[thegrobe]

i think i choose dark burgundy for shell and buckeye for faceplate, but the plate doesn't seem like buckeye tho

That definitely is buckeye, in fact that is a reeaaaaly nice selection of buckeye. Those look gorgeous.

 

[chiman]

Agreed that buckeye looks amazing! I'm really worried about how mine are going to look, I sould get proofs soon I hope.

Thanks guys for the compliments.

I got my tracking number and they should be here by Friday.

I'm going to call UPS and try to pick it up because I won't be at home.

 

[kamikazi]

i was pretty scare of the kind a hole thin in there, but it seem to look better in time lol

Doubtful, but does Heir do reshells for customs from other companies?
 
These designs are making me super PB&Jelly

Heir reshelled a TF10 for me, but that was way back though. Wouldn't it be a bit silly to pay $100+ for the reshell, 100+ for wood/etc and 55 for shipping though?

 

[anoxy]

Yeah if it costs $250 that would definitely be silly. In that case, I'm happy with my basic acrylic colors.

Called UPS just now to see if I could pick up the package since no one will be at home Friday.

Sure enough, I have to wait for one delivery attempt and then call to schedule it.

Won't be getting my 4.A until Monday afternoon now.
