4-Bar Datnoid question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Is a 4-bar datnoid the same as an Indonesian Datnoid? Are 4-bar Datnoids stable or unstable?

Most Indo dats are four bar. A few are three bar or odd patterns.

'Stable' or 'unstable' are terms often used with dats referring to how pronounced the pattern appears. I don't much think those terms are useful.

A 4 bar datnoid is a subset of an Indonesian datnoid. An Indonesian datnoid can also be 3 bar or forkbar.
3 bar datnoids are far more expensive compared to a 4 bar because their patterns are more pronounced and nicer looking.

an unstable datnoid is usually discoloured and darker in colour with its bars not as pronounced a go for a lower price. Datnoids can either be stable or unstable depending on their settings, doesn’t matter how many bars it has on its body

picture below is my forkbar datnoid when stable.
