I read in 'The Gramophone' magazine (1935) that these sound box gramophone needles were synthetic and rather well thought of - comparable to fibre needles.

I can't find any other information about them though.

Has anyone heard of them I wonder ?

I've noticed that reference too, whilst researching Burmese Colour Needles and their competitors, but have never seen or heard of any surviving.

Isn't Voltwood a Harry Potter character?
