Hello Frank
Do you think these type of suspension can work well with longer tonearm like 15" or 16"? One will be 12" that sure.
Also these would be the material for arm wind guys you advised to me? You wrote I think you like it a lot these or similar material...
I do not want to buy in case these not the same, please remember I have ultra light weight titanium, 2 size carbon fibre and aluminium arrow shaft( similar to Naim wand).. All light weight and they do look promising.

Would you please let me know.

The one in the video is a cheap compilation "the rough guide to new orleans". It's actually very good sonically and musically!

Hi Gabor,
Without having tested the tubing that's offered under the ebay link, I can't say whether its's suitable or not. For armwands, I only use such a material as the outer layer of a three layer sandwich.
Generally speaking, most phenolic tubes of suitable diameter/wall thickness are not stiff enough to be used by themselves, not to mention for 16" arms.
have a great wekend,
Frank
Hi Fran,
Why did you make the headshell/armwand interface so fragile and the mounting plate so massive?

The mounting plate: basically its what I had to hand. The headshell is pretty strong - its made from a single piece of aluminium. It "feels" strong if you know what I mean.....

My Schroeder arm is almost completed. It missing only the wood wand tube. Here the pictures. It has a micrometric VTA adjuster kind like the one on the Graham tonearm. Counterweight with fine adjuster brass screw, plastic (Rulon material) sleeve insert between arm tube and counterweight for smoother adjustment and vibration control. I'll use a kevlar thread for the pivot point. The mounting hole is the same as a REGA, lifter (JL-45) from Jelco. It will need a custom slide section. The standard one is not long enough.

Hi Mr. Henning,
Congratulations; wonderful work! Would you mind giving the dimensions of the magnets you used?

I used previously used geometry that already had the angle worked out and used. Yes, I have space to wiggle the cartridge for setting the angle, the slots will be a wee bit wider than 2.5 mm, that should be enough... Happy listening!! Ernst
