Votaw Tools sites?

Author: tictactux ★2017

Yesterday I remembered that the strap ring on my Bundy bass was broken and I went shopping for a replacement - possibly something "better" like a ring with a mounting flange vs just a ringed bolt. Anyhow, I landed at Votaw's, or so I thought. But Google had sent me to some different Votaw page at some other domain, and prices there are roughly 30% cheaper than on the original site:
http://votaw.micnap.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=9731 vs.
http://www.votawtool.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=9731.

Anyone seen this? And is the "cheaper" site legit?

Micnap is run by Mickey Williamson. I believe she did website/computer work before she started learning instrument repair. I don't understand why she is hosting an identical Votaw website with different prices.

Just speculation, but Micnap might not be updated regularly with the current Votaw prices.

Years ago I worked with a lady named Votaw who was related (2nd cousin I think) to the tool people. Off-topic.

Ben: I recommend Ferree's Tools for whatever ails your clarinet. I haven't bought any strap rings from them but I'd bet they have them.

Or if all else fails I can probably dig one up and send it to you, across the wide blue Atlantic Ocean.
