Embodying the highly acclaimed sound of the Hana SL, the SL Mono, with its special generator and Shibata stylus, optimizes the playback of mono LPs.

Handmade in Japan
Origin of HANA

In 2015, I had the great fortune to re-meet Masao Okada-san, founder of Excel Sound, whom I had known for almost 40 years. With the renewed interest in LP playback, Okada-san developed the HANA moving coil cartridge line for our exclusive exports. We are privileged to be partners with Excel Sound and without our long-standing friendship, HANA moving-coil cartridges would never have been launched.
The “brilliant and beautiful” sound of HANA is now available to all music lovers worldwide, without a extreme financial burden on your equipment budget. With a HANA purchase you can indeed buy more of your favorite vinyl records - which is the real reason to buy a good phono cartridge in the first place!
