Refined and redesigned after building hundreds of marionette controls over 25 years.
The Version 30 is the best, most comfortable, most versatile control I have ever designed for stringed puppets. It’s simple to build and easy to string, but most importantly, it’s intuitive to perform with!
This control can be ordered in matte black for unobtrusive performance, or finished with comfortable beeswax sealant to display the warm color of wood.
Control Features:
Magnetically attached Leg Bar which can be used one-handed or two
Pivoting shoulder hanger for easy shrugging, breathing, sobbing motions
Easy-reach ‘Nod string’ for talking, looking up or affirming
Multi-use rocker can be strung for swinging hips, looking eyes, tapping feet, or any number of creative uses!
Easily adjustable stringing using Belaying Pegs
four continuous strings for inside of hands, outsides of hands, elbows and shoulders for extra fine detailed movements
Easy hanger used to hook a puppet on the Perchery or quickly spin the character in a circle
Sturdy wood, brass & steel construction which will last a hundred years or more
