Blackbird / SME

Hi all,
will a Sumiko Blackbird fit an SME 3009 improved ( non detach ) ? It is on a Thorens TD 125 mk II . Goes to a Manley Stingray through a Lounge Audio LCR. Thanks.

Mike

That said compliance can be a strange "bird" pun intended.

As your headshell is fixed, be real careful with that naked cantilever.
