P-4 Iambic CW Paddle
index018005.jpg index018004.jpg index018003.jpg
The P-4 design is the result of over 40 years of CW experience and the desire to make the best feeling paddle possible with zero compromise. I personally think it is the nicest paddle that I make.  The paddle is one heavy hunk of brass and weighs about 5 pounds.  The weight insures stability on the desk and a solid feel second to none.   To compare .... the popular Mercury paddle: 3lb-11oz, the Vibroplex single lever vibrokeyer: 3lb-2oz, the Schurr Profi: 3lb-8oz, and the Kent: 2lb-13oz.  The P-4 uses precision ball bearings in the top and bottom of each dot-dash lever support pin for smooth frictionless movement.  The silver contacts are 3/16" in diameter and carefully aligned for positive contact.  The dot/dash levers are spring loaded and fully adjustable for individual tension.   Paddle dimensions are 3-1/2"w / 4"d / 2-1/2"h.  The contact and spring adjustment dowels are knurled for ease of setting.  Prior to assembly each paddle component is coated with a lacquer formulated specifically for brass to provide lasting brilliance.  Optional Walnut or Rosewood finger pieces are available for a small additional price.
