[Jewelry making - Article 00636] - [Orchid] Torch Recommendations for Crafts Center

Hello friends,

    I am planning to buy and donate a torch to the Crafts Center Jewelry
    Studio. 

    They are in the midst/again, switch away from Acetylene. The first
    try at Compressed Art/Natural Gas, did not work as we are too far
    downstream from the source of the Natural Gas, and the reduced
    pressure did not allow for adequate heat for melting. 

    The in process switch now, is to Oxygen/Natural Gas. We currently
    have one high heat torch from Otto Frei, but that one was bulky and
    unyielding in the hands, as well as rather uncomfortable and
    inflexible. 

    I plan on buying and donating the second torch, and would prefer
    something far more comfortable to use. What recommendations have
    you? Please not so rigid hoses. 

    What well designed, for both male and female hands torches are
    there? 

Thanks and Hugs,
Terrie
