Hi yeah I have been to that site
It came with some spearhead style needles anyone seen these before? They look brass
Do you use these a certain way?

[wjw]

The spearhead was supposed to play louder or softer depending on the way you mounted it in the chuck. Have heard it didn't make much difference.

Yeah that's what someone else told me turn them one way and it louder I will try it
I'm looking for some viva tone needles
