Topic: Singing mast

I will be replacing wiring in the mast. Any suggestions on limiting the vibration. I've read about ti-wraps every few feet, foam taped around wires. Any comments?

Re: Singing mast

Hi Fessalo,

I did the zip-tie thing with Lolly Jo's mast last year (used 8" wraps in a "3-star pattern" every 16 inches or so), and it worked perfectly!   In my opinion, a better solution to the foam noodles used when "silencing" another Contessa's mast a few years back (foam breaking down).
