Hi
Where can I purchase longer knee levers. The Shobud style ones are a bit short for my liking
Thanks in advance for any help

| If you're in a pinch, you can add a couple inches of plastic pipe to the lever. Not sure of the diameter, but I've seen it done. You can find grey pipe, so it doesn't stand out too much... probably in the plumbing aisle at any hardware store. |

Sho~Bud is no longer in business but when I owned a couple of Williams guitar I had the same problem as you're having.
The knee levers hit me right on the knee cap and it hurt!
I contacted Bill Rudolph with Williams and he sent me longer ones, a big difference.

| Agreed. I had a combo platter of both long and short knee lever handles on both a D-10 and a GS-10 Emmons. I ordered some long handles from the late Jerry Roller (bless his heart) and had Clem Schmitz install 'em on one of my infrequent trips back to Minnie a few years ago. A world of difference. |

You can search old threads for various homemade and CNC made knee lever flags like

I've done it with aluminum angle and velcro, something like

It held just ok so I had Patrick Timmins make some really nice ones.
