Re: How can I tell the difference between a nude stylus and a bonded?

You're pretty much correct. 'Nude' Styli were pretty much the product of Namiki and Japanese supplier of Styli and cantilever assemblies (among other things). They would laser cut a hole in a cantilever assembly and then insert a long stylus into the hole and glue it in.

Benz and they used to OEM a tremendous amount of Styli/cantilever assemblies also, uses the bonded assembly. They claim butting the bare stylus against the cantilever and then adding the glue like a welding fillet around the stylus makes for less 'play' in the overall structural integrity.

Pick your poison.
