The
Callas Recordclamp has been created out of a never
ending quest for best sound with the cherished
LP. The Callas Recordclamp is handmade through
a specific procedure which ask for skills and
experience. Most exotic woods have been used and
listened through many prototypes. The African
Blackwood Dalbergia Melanoxylon
is the only wood which brings this magic sound
besides offering the ideal weight of 430-440 gramms
to adress the starting point of flatten the record.
Using the Callas Recordclamp means no return possible:
Once listened once sold.
The
last 10 years has seen a huge drying up on African Blackwood resources in the
EU. There are still fair supplies of ordinary Ebony woods but mainly (too) small
pieces. We only work with AA instrument quality which is now imported directly
from East Africa and this comes at a hefty price ex timber mill, not yet mentioning
shipment cost and import fees. Producing the Callas Recordclamp and by working
with African Blackwood for two decennia we do not compromise on quality and thus
sound. At the same time the price is still reasonable due to direct sales. The
AA instrument quality takes two years of drying at the African timber mill, and
some time in our living room after final production. There is a limited production
capacity.
