    About the needles:
    These needles are handmade, varying slightly in length and thickness.
    They are not suited for loud or worn records
    , but are recommended for all records in good condition.
    They are made extra long--too long by some estimations--being about 3.5 cm or about 1 and 3/8ths inches, so that they can either be cut to the desired length, or used longer.
    What's the "point" of using steel needles that wear out your records?
    The many benefits of bamboo needles have never been counted, but include, off the top of my head:
    Bamboo needles inflict no damage to records.
    Full confidence can be placed in bamboo needles to play most records without any wear,
    ensuring the conservation of records for posterity.
    They clean your records. There is no more effective way of cleaning your records; the needle tip will adapt to the shape of the groove and scrape out the residue of steel and shellack particles which resides at the bottom, and thereby removing one of the sources of increased wear.
    They last longer. Bamboo needles are known to play between 1 and 4 record sides, and may subsequently be re-pointed many times?as many times, as the length of the needle permits.
    They
    substantially reduce record hiss
    --by virtue of the needle's filtering of the topmost frequencies, where the noise resides. Their tone is distinctly softer than that of steel needles which ought to be almost universally welcome. It is furthermore possible to control the volume, which stands in relation to the needle's length and thickness.
    "Needles" to say, it is difficult to object to such overwhelming benefits.
    Bamboo needles will fit every sound-box with a triangular needle hole--a standard feature of many brands, since bamboo needles have been used widely since the 1910s.
    Save money on needles and preserve your records—it is the sensible choice!
    All inquiries welcome.
