CUSTOM REELS

Designed for movement. Crafted to complete the instrument.

FORM IN MOTION

The instrument,
completed.

Custom reels extend the machine’s design into its moving parts. Shape, weight and finish are considered together.

Alter Ego Appearance sculpted reel designs

A lightweight material palette

The studio works with aluminium alloys, magnesium, titanium and carbon-fibre composites. Selection depends on the design, its dimensions and the engineering requirements.

From a sketch to a balanced set

A commission moves through discussion, CAD development, fixtures, prototypes and final machining. Geometry and balance are assessed before surface finishing.

Finishes with continuity

Anodising, powder coating, polishing and integrated metal lettering can coordinate the reel with the instrument. Designs are developed as individual sets rather than a standard stocked range.

Plan your commission

Bring visual references, your machine’s details, preferred dimensions and an outline of your budget. The studio lists several reel sizes and advises allowing time for design revisions. Obtain a current quotation, schedule and written terms before proceeding.
