Yamamoto Sound Crafts HS-1A / HS-1As Ebony Headshell

African ebony used in HS-1A and HS-1As is a beautiful sounding black material used for oboe and clarinet.
By using a wood headshell with high internal losses, the effect of its resonance can be significantly reduced.
Valuing the texture and texture of the wood, it is applied with an eco-friendly wood protection paint that has almost no effect on the human body, and it has a buffing finish. Please feel the unique appearance and warmth of wood. Please check with your ears the natural and ear-friendly sound that is completely different from ordinary metal shells.


Due to the light weight of this product, it comes with brass gold-plated screws on the included set screws. Brass has a large specific gravity, so if you use a long-length screw, you can increase its own weight a little. The brass screws are gold-plated on top of a non-magnetic base, so you can use them with confidence. In addition, the finger hook is also gold-plated without magnetism, so it can be used safely even with MC cartridges, which are greatly affected by magnetic force.

The headshell angle can be adjusted, so it can be used with various arms.

The HS-1As has a Teflon-insulated extra-thick 6N copper shell lead that adds a sense of power. In addition, since it is soldered, it can be expected to improve sound quality by reducing the number of electrical contacts.
