Phono Cartridges Enhancing the Joy of the Music You Love
Hana cartridges are manufactured in Japan by Excel Sound Corporation, a company with decades of experience in precision phono cartridge production. Founded in Tokyo in the 1970s, Excel has long produced cartridges and components both under its own name and for other respected audio brands.
The Hana range reflects this manufacturing expertise. Each cartridge is carefully assembled and tested in Japan, using refined moving-coil technology and carefully selected materials.
Hana cartridges have received strong international recognition in publications such as Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, and Hi-Fi+. Models like the Hana SL, SH, and ML have frequently been praised for delivering serious moving-coil performance at comparatively accessible price levels.
Why we are enthusiastic about HANA
Hana cartridges have gained strong international recognition in recent years, earning multiple industry awards and critical praise. Their lively sound and straightforward value proposition make them a compelling moving-coil option for many of the turntable systems we assemble at Walden.
