Hi Ric,
	Does it have titanium pins and ebony cap? I think the titanium was  
an experiment in 2005 (Ulrich showed one in KC, and I believe he said  
it was the only one that had them so far, or maybe the second). The  
ebony cap was new in 2006 to the best of my recollection - I don't  
recall seeing it in 05 at KC, but it was there in 06 in Rochester.  
And I think he said the ebony (and maybe the titanium pins) was only  
on model 275, though possibly 220 as well. I don't remember that  
precisely what he said with respect to models. Not that I am making  
any claim that this entirely eliminates false/single string beats.  
Just that this is pretty much new ground for Sauter, and possibly  
only in real production (as opposed to experimental models) within  
the past year.
