Anyone selling a Borys B120?

Jack you could try a D'aquisto jazzline. It's a poor mans Borys and as far as I can tell, identical to the Sadowsky, aside from the neck length. They're all made in Terada by the same people...

Anyone selling a Borys B120?

You might try stripping back the recipe to basics and start all over. I have been baking (my Covid hobby) and using books and YT to guide me. Much revolves around the flour you use and the...
