# Additional David 3 loom features
Other positive features are:
* Sound – very quiet operation
* Market tested for over 30 years
* Made of solid beech
* Finished with 2 coats of water based clear lacquer
The David loom is very quiet to operate, due to the light weight texsolv heddles. The David loom has been on the market since the 1990’s and the mechanics and function of the David loom has never changed. In 2018, the David 3 was introduced adding some structural improvements, weight and frame stability, but most of the improvements were made for improved manufacturing efficiency.
Your David will come standard with the following:
* 2 lease sticks
* 16 warp divider sticks
* 2 apron rods (wooden)
* 800 heddles - 280mm (11")
* built in raddle
* raddle cover
* 40-10 metric reed (approx. equivalent to a 10 dent reed)
The David loom can fold to a width of 29" The back beam section is hinged so it can fold up to the castle. With the David 1 & 2, there was a bolt that tightened the back beam section to the castle. The bolt had to be removed when folding the loom and too often owners lost these bolts when the loom was stored away for a period of time.
The David 3, in redesign, was changed to have an embedded nut and bolt system that is never removed, so no fear of losing hardware.
