Miayjima Saboten

Miyajima Saboten

Like the Madake cantilever, the Saboten uses a cactus cantilever attached to the base.
The main body is lignum vitaem, which is said to be the world’s hardest tree.

The main characteristic of the Saboten in comparison to the other Miyajima cartridges is its ease of use, being a very simple cartridge to set-up due to its bonded elliptical diamond stylus.
