Yamamoto Sound Craft HS-2 Hokkaido Asada Cherry Wood Headshell

For HS-2, we carefully select and use only the highest quality Asada cherry blossom heartwood. Since this Asada cherry wood is not hard enough to be screwed, it is designed to secure the cartridge using a brass screw plate that doubles as a finger rest. Since the specific gravity of cherry wood is lighter than that of metal or ebony, the weight is balanced in combination with this brass plate. The dead weight of both models is about 10g.
In addition, for the company's weight adjustmentWasher WA-1to adjust the weight balance more easily.

Valuing the texture and texture of wood, we apply an eco-friendly wood protection paint that has almost no effect on the human body and finish it with a buffing finish. Feel the unique appearance and softness of wood.

It's not strange, and it has a bold and organic sound. It doesn't fit into the electric gory style of rock and funk, but it plays vocals and live instruments comfortably and warmly. In particular, the vocal harmonies (The Eagles' "First") spread out so softly and beautifully that I fell in love with them.
