Beautifully made, hand crafted awesome sound whats not to like? Silvan Audio Workshop are a father and son team using Kickstarter to raise just $15,000 (£9,700). Have a read below and maybe help them out.

A great turntable is a beautiful sounding musical instrument that anyone can play. Silvan Audio Workshop specializes in high-quality, completely unique turntables crafted by a father and son team from natural hardwood, shaped and finished by hand. Our project here on Kickstarter is aimed at outfitting our two workspaces to work more efficiently and get the same high quality we’ve had so far, more quickly and easily. With your help, we can take this from a small hobby to a real operation.

The heart of each turntable is components from the legendary English audio wizards at Rega, who have made their reputation as leaders in high end, elegant, incredible sounding audio gear. The glass platter shows off the beautiful wood, but it’s also heavy for speed stability and made for precision. The tonearm is a result of masterful engineering, designed to move your music all the way to your speakers just the way it was intended to be heard. The belt drive system is made with precision to deliver low vibration, low noise, and highly accurate speed.

The wood is individually selected for each turntable to be a thing of beauty that will have almost as much impact when it’s silent as it will when you turn it up and start dancing.

Our vision is to make one-of-a-kind objects of art that will be the centerpiece of any home entertainment system. We believe that if your music is unique, if it has soul and life and beauty, the things you use to play it should have all the same character. Mass-produced just isn’t good enough.

Construction is all by hand, from the shaping and planing, to the routing, soldering, setup, and testing. We’ll even align the cartridge perfectly and set the counterweight so you can just plug it in and go.
