Howdy all, sorry if this question has been asked before but, whose tone rings are they using? Their own, Stew mac, Rickard, etc?

Curious because I'm more and more interested in a 12in model from them, and would like to maybe have the option to upgrade to a bacophone plus (ala Reiter).

Overall, more and more impressed with what they are turning out...

We are working on a bacon and WL prototype which we'll have later this year." A little vague, and kind of strange since I've already seen one Bacon ring Pisgah and the WL is available now on their website. Like I said above, I'm primarily just looking to clarify if the spun rings are interchangeable to make a Bacophone plus out of a WL. Will see what they say.
