shed

Anyone have experience with the shed opening on a countermarche loom of more than 10 shafts?  Handwoven mentions frequently that "ten shafts should be an optimum high number."  Is that true?  On all countermarche looms? 

Thanks

Has this loom been sold?  What is the asking price?

I think the more shafts

I think the more shafts (although 10 should not really create a problem) slightly longer heddles can help you optimize the shed.  I have used 10 on my Liisa and have had no issues.
