Hi, I have a little Little Wonder pot! As I understand it, LW's are usually 10 15/16"? Mine is more like 10 1/8". The dowel is for a type S, but the tonering, bracket count and undyed maple say LW. Can anyone point to a reason for this? Pony banjo maybe? S.N.29807 (or possibly 29808, the last digit is double stamped).
Many thanks from Bill. :D
