A FELLOW EBAYER E-MAILED US THIS INFORMATION: Dear firstpowersellers,Not a question but, I have the other *one*, and thought you'd like to know... I emailed Evan [at Schon] about it on, 3 September 08, after I saw your listing. His reply,... "I made a couple of them and just composed as I went. Before the Internet, names and model numbers were not too important. The cue is around 15 years old but the age really isn't important either...This cue was one of my favorite designs of that time and required tricky, delicate machining? EC" Mine is identical to yours, in every aspect. Wish I could afford yours, best of luck selling, shouldn't be too hard! Feel free to use any part of this in your item description. - reno00001  Schon is German for beautiful.  The cue is a Balabushka-style cue, but over the last twenty years Schon has made a myriad of improvements in performance, construction, and design.  The basic cue is constructed as a three-piece butt.  The center section, or "under the wrap," as they call it, is a laminated unit of various woods which helps maintain straightness and consistent play from cue to cue.  The cost of this piece is astronomical in comparison to the standard maple under the wrap, but nothing is sacrificed for performance.  The top of the cue, in 85% of all instances, is bird's-eye maple.  The rest of the time exotic wood tops are used which are drilled and cored with laminated maple to maintain weight, consistency of hit, and straightness.  Their stainless steel joint has a phenolic core, which they pioneered over 25 years ago, and has since been adopted by many of the well-known cuemakers.  This construction helps reduce weight and also softens and transfers the sensitivity of the hit.  The bottom of the cue is made from various materials such as bird's-eye maple, ebony, or other exotic woods, terminated by a Delrin butt plate which yields the best durability fro a section of the cue which takes much abuse from day to day.  A little cosmetic quality is sacrificed because they can't finish over the Delrin, but it is infinitely more repairable and maintainable.  The primary objectives at Schon Cues are good play, performance, and durability.  All inlay work is made from what Schon Cues calls "high integtrity" materials.  Black stuff is all ebony, white stuff is elephant ivory, etc.  In some small instances, they substitute high tensile synthetics in the ringwork where the structural integrity of the cue is best served.  Shafts are Northern hard maple with their own proprietary ferrule and their own water buffalo tip.  They tend to resort to the form over runction rule regarding the cosmetics of shaft wood.  Schon hit with every cue and shaft that they have ever made, and after all these years cannot make any correlation between tight grain, color, weight, and good hit.  The proof is in the hit, and since they make a very small amount of cues, they have the luxury of being able to tune each piece that leaves their shop.  Specifications: Butt material: hardwoods Shaft material: rock maple Standard length: 58 in.
