of instruments such as organ pipes, Marimba keys, and grand piano
bass strings, I imagine achieving a resonance <20hz in a physical
structure of ~30cm length would be a non-trivial exercise.
We're not talking about resonance in the tonearm itself (which
can also be a problem, but quite a different one), but the
resonance of the combination of the mass of the tonearm and the
compliance of the cartridge. See for example
