This New Turntable Is Made Entirely Out Of Bamboo
Tri-Art’s creation is the latest in a long line of high-end audio products made from wood.
Do you want a stunning, handcrafted turntable made from a highly renewable resource? Then the Pebbles TA-0.5 may be for you. This bamboo device comes from Tri-Art, a high-end audio manufacturer that specializes in making unique and quality gear at (reasonably) low prices. The manufacturer’s decision to make the TA-1 entirely from bamboo was not just aesthetic; the material is super rigid and much quieter than traditional turntables made from plastic or metal.
In addition to looking and sounding good, the TA-0.5 is also eco-friendly. Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world and one of the most easily-renewed natural resources at our disposal—certain species grow up to one meter per day at a rate of four centimeters per hour. The price tag for saving the environment? A mere $650. You can find out more information here.
