Is an interesting design with stepped portions that work as cantelevers to attenuate resonance. However they work backward.
Ideally you would want it thick on the cartridge end and thin on the tonearm wand.
So try an H-12. This will give you much more solid and substantial bass.
I am not sure my brother in law wants to go into the counterweight business, but if you have problems getting the work done just let me know.
He is a superb tool maker! He has made me a few pieces here and there that really work nicely on my projects.
Cheers!
