I just swapped out a brass for the wooden tone ring but I am not sure I have this correct. When I was finished everything fit and it sounds ok but still not sure which side is up and whether I should be using the metal ring that capped the tone spheres on the brass ring or not. Also I don't recall seeing a titanium ring, just wood. The photo depiction on Nechville is a little ambiguous. Any one know where I can find something definitive on installation?
