Urushi Tsugaru

New feature! Now comes with threaded mounting screws - no more messing with a nut to secure the cartridge to the headshell!

The Japanese art of Urushi is a tradition dating back 10,000 years. This natural lacquer is sourced from the caustic sap of the indigenous Urushi trees. The Urushi is applied by the hands of select Japanese artisans. Once the lacquer cures it hardens around the natural rosewood body changing its resonant frequency.

All Koetsu Urushi models use silver cladded ultra-high purity copper coils. This process involves a silver sheath being slowly drawn over the copper.

The Urushi body Koetsus offer an even more exciting sonic signature compared to the standard Rosewood models.

The Koetsu Urushi produces exceptional sound quality delivering a uniquely rich, harmonically complex sound with low distortion and a captivating, three-dimensional soundstage. Its midrange "magical," with excellent focus, coherence, and realism that make music deeply engaging.
