I bought my Orchorsol portable firstly because I had never owned one before, and secondly because of it's outstandingly original condition. It has the adjustable soundbox and pre-dates the ghastly bawling infant lid transfer which cannot have helped sales.

I only wish the Orchosol could play fibre needles!
You'll have to look for some Apollon needles or other round shank fibres.
Or get an adaptor.
Oh no ......................... the fibre needle adapter ..............

This is one of those items I had the opportunity to buy for 'next to nothing' and didn't and I have regretted not buying it ever since.

Really solidly built / quality product ................. boo hoo

You can get them here. http://www.burmesecolourneedles.com/

Also, the BCNs (arguably) are a better sound than fibres. I like them, just not great at sharpening them!!

Might need a bit of bending to make the right size, but for £2 it works great.
