sold my shimpo's soul to the company store

Tony,

What's this about Shimpo Whispers having no soul? Are you serious?
Where do you think all the souls of the old cone drives go when they
die, huh?

Honestly, if you want to inspire a shimpo, add a playing card and a
clothes pin. You'll get all the soulful noise you want. Anyway, as
long as you haven't sold YOUR soul to the company store, you'll be
just fine. You're a soul brother and I mean that.

I've only centered about a hundred pounds of clay (not all at once) on
my new Whisper, but I'm Lo hohoho oving it. It has great slow speed,
had immediate response when I change speeds and best of all, NO BELTS.

Party on!

Good. I like a wheel that can start slow.
