Filipino tonearm

speechless.
moved.

bringing me closer to my dream of 100% all-Filipino made gear. yung Turntable nalang ni Propesor ang hinihintay.
are you considering the possibility of having some made to order Ka-Mandy? magkano kaya ang mga obrang ganire?

Mabuhay ang gawang Pilipino!

PS. ipapangalan ba sa tanyag na Pilipinong pintor? hmmm...alam ko na:
Ang Kyut Ko :D

National Artist pa.

Botvinik got it first!

The painter I had in mind is Fernando Amorsolo. I was even thinking of using a replica of his signature on the arm, but that might pose legal problems?

Thanks everyone, I do think it looks good and I am so proud of it. I hope it sounds as good as it looks though.

I have tried it out and my Denon 103 gushed out with extra helpings of dynamics, detail and huge soundstage, wide and deep! Maybe I am just being biased so come and listen to it at the NOVEMBER SHOW. Arnold, I am making that thing which goes around so I can tune the pair and carry the darn thing around.
