Hi
Since I started selling my “Ebon” line of ebony needles I have received numerous questions about it, and about ebony in general. Hopefully the following offers some clarification.
General Questions
1. Are these needles ebony?- Yes they are
2. Where are they made- They are crafted in India
3. Are they coated? - They are hand polished with a proprietary material.
4. Isn't it illegal to import Ebony? – Needles and hooks are considered handicrafts and are quite legal to import and export.
5. Why is ebony more expensive? - The supply of ebony is limited and it is very difficult for the manufacturers to work with, due to its density and hardness. However our needles and hooks are less than 1/2 of the price of the “big brand”
Interchangeable Needles
1. Do they swivel? - They do not have a “swivel” as such. The cord is inserted into the ferrule but not bonded to it. Therefore most of the cords will rotate in the ferrule if they haven't been pulled to tight. However I wouldn't say the needles had a swivel.
2. Do you have to buy an additional accessory kit?. With individual pairs you will need at least one accessory set. If you purchase a needle set you get 8 needle tips and 2 accessory sets which gives you 6 cords, 4 couplers, 4 stoppers, and 2 tightening tools.
3. Do you have longer cords? - Not currently, however the couplers that come in the accessory pack can be used to increase the cable length substantially.
