"Karikio" remains a brand with a loyal following to this day.
Just as with vintage backs, many manufacturers have produced instruments inspired by Karikio, but the original Karikio enjoys enduring popularity, and even on the used market, there are many who say, “As soon as one comes in, I go try it out.”
By the way, to all Karikio owners...
How are your piston springs holding up??
Have they lost their original tension and become wobbly, or have you replaced them with springs from other manufacturers, leaving you with a touch that’s too stiff?
Since there aren’t any off-the-shelf piston springs for Karikio that offer just the right balance, it seems many of you are having trouble finding the right fit.
That’s why the Kubokan Custom Club has developed the Karikio Piston Spring Ver. 2!!
Here’s an explanation of Ver. 2...
We’ve been selling the Ver. 1 springs since last fall.It was characterized by a firm touch and a distinct playing feel. (Ver. 1 is already sold out.)
This time, we’ve recreated a light touch closer to the original Calikio. The high register is now more open, faithfully reproducing the authentic “Calikio sound.”
The retail price is 3,520 yen (tax included).
