 Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

From the playtmbr website:
"Put it together slim for some looping THIS-A-WAY, or with a wider catch zone for string tricks THAT-A-WAY.
I [Colin Leland of TMBR] can't recall a profile that I've obsessed over as much as this one. It's a simple tapered gap, with a rounded rim. One face is tapered at 3/16", the other at 3/32" depth. This creates a perfect blend of spin time, loop capability, response, and stability. Both configurations share a certain feel, but allow for a good amount of difference in play style.
What side are you on?
That's your choice.
Who am I to judge?
Available in deluxe and standard models.
• Deluxe model (Maple, seen in this exhibit) is sanded to 220 grit, finished with oil/varnish blend, stamped lettering, and packaged in plank packaging with string. The deluxe version was also available in Walnut ($5 more), Cherry ($5 more) , Ash, and Oak.
