Ebony headshell spacer pieces made for Montesquieu.
They don't look like much but he was looking for a specific thickness, thinner than others available and keeping it as light as possible.

Of course being ebony they'll sound divine :)

Shown in my test headshell and then installed in Montesquieu's headshell with the SPU Royal N

Headshell weights for a low compliance set up for Montesquieu.
1.2mm thick copper at 5g.
1.5mm thick copper at 7g.
1mm thick lead at 7g.

The lead is a bonus fun one to see if I could do it and get as thin as possible.
Only tungsten, gold or platinum would be thinner.
