td-01 chinese tonearm?

Has anyone got any info on this item. There is one for sale on ebay right now. Uses a wood tonearm shaft with a ceramic unipivot bearing with a string that seems to center or otherwise hold it in place. Interesting looking design, but I'd like to know more.

I haven't seen one either. One thing that I would be concerned about is, the stylus always has a different pull/drag on it. With that issue, the arm may move some, causing problems. Hopefully, someone like Stereophile will test one then we'll know more.

After reading Q&A's, it sounds like it just hangs and floats. It doesn't sound to stable. To much lateral movement in my opinion. I don't think any is good. It could make odd noises from what I see.
