@Q Miller-Edwards There were a few threads out there dealing with this so they've been merged with yours so everyone may benefit from the previous replies.
Definitely send around Tunbridge Wells everyday you play it and if you can't do it fully yet the practice will break in those cups :-D
Anyone have any experience with what a natty kayak breaks in as? Im loving the ken so much but the tama is like ice! Does it break in and get grippy or no?
What brand is it? How they finish the tama will affect things. If it’s an ozo, they sand them to a nice polish, but it’ll take some time to beat em in! Work some hand sweat and oil in, that’ll speed things up
it's a gloken tk16, its sanded pretty smooth, been jamming it today and im loving it, just needs some work.
@Dama_Fury Fury We had a similar thread so yours has been merged so everyone can see the previous replies. Also have a look at the second post of this thread for an interesting video from Jake Wiens about breaking in Nattys. Here are some other Natty threads you might find interesting: First Natty Painted vs Natty Differences in Natty Kendamas Next Natty? Natty!!!
