Since we have a short lampworking year I cancelled the back
order and purchased from a different vendor who had it in stock.

Delivered today. (pouring rain or I'd be out using it right now)

Bethlehem gave this torch a good name.

Bravo !

Coming from a midrange/minor combo the Bravo is an entirely
different beast.

Like Signguy said, it is built like a tank.

The Alpha center flame is amazing for stringer work, it can be
turned down to a super small size.

The valves are almost too easy to turn, they should stiffen
up a bit as they break in over time but it might take a while.

There is one thing I am uncertain about, the synthetic handles
on the tilt adjustment.

I am concerned what the radiant heat will do to them but that
is all I can find that gives me any doubt.

Going to take a couple weeks to get used to, but so far it
looks like a choice we will be happy with for a long time.
