About Kotaro Vintage Studio

Welcome to KOTARO VINTAGE STUDIO.

I am Kotaro Asahina, a professional pianist and recording engineer based in Tokyo, Japan.
For me, a tape recorder like the Revox is not just an industrial machine—it is a musical instrument that captures time and emotion.

My Philosophy: "The Musician's Ear"
Unlike standard technicians who rely solely on oscilloscopes, I perform the final tuning of every unit using my own ears and piano recordings.
My restoration skills were inherited from two masters:

Akihiko Goshima: The successor to the legendary Japanese "Kaneda-style DC recording" technology.

Master Klaus: A European Revox master who taught me the soul of these machines.

I combine this "European Heritage" with "Japanese Precision Craftsmanship" to deliver the ultimate analog sound to your studio or living room.

Why Buy from Kotaro Vintage Studio?

Musician-Grade Calibration: Calibrated for the most musical playback, focusing on the "air" and "depth" of the sound.

Aesthetic Perfection: As I am also involved in visual arts, I meticulously clean and restore the exterior. My units are "Audio Furniture."

Video Demonstrations: Please check the video links in my listings. You can hear the actual sound of each unit.

I invite you to experience the true sound of the golden age of analog.

Shop Policies / Shipping Info (配送・ポリシー欄)
※Reverbでは「Shipping Policy」や「Return Policy」の欄に記載、または商品説明の末尾に追記します。

Shipping & Handling (配送について)

Bulletproof Packaging: I understand that vintage gear is heavy and fragile. I use professional "Double-Boxing" with industrial-grade cushioning to ensure your Revox arrives safely, whether you are in Asia, the US, or Europe.

Carrier: I ship via FedEx or DHL with full insurance and tracking.

Voltage & Power (電圧について)

World Ready: Most Revox units are multi-voltage. I will set the voltage (100V, 120V, 220V, 240V) to match your country before shipping.

Plug Type: I will include a high-quality power plug adapter for your region as a gift.

Warranty (保証)

I stand behind my work. If the unit arrives DOA (Dead on Arrival), I offer a full refund or return. Please buy with confidence.

本文:
KOTARO VINTAGE STUDIOへようこそ。
私は東京を拠点とするピアニスト兼レコーディングエンジニアの朝比奈耕太郎です。
私にとって、Revoxのようなテープレコーダーは単なる工業製品ではなく、時間と感情を記録する「楽器」です。

私の哲学:「音楽家の耳」
オシロスコープの数値だけに頼る一般的な技術者とは異なり、私はすべての個体の最終調整を、自分自身の耳とピアノの録音を使って行います。
私の技術は2人の師匠から受け継ぎました。

五島昭彦氏: 伝説的な日本の「金田式DC録音」技術の後継者。

マスター・クラウス: Revoxの魂を教えてくれたヨーロッパの巨匠。

私は「欧州の遺産」と「日本の精密技術」を融合させ、究極のアナログサウンドをあなたのスタジオやリビングルームにお届けします。

なぜ当スタジオから買うべきか?

音楽家基準のキャリブレーション: 音の「空気感」や「奥行き」に焦点を当て、最も音楽的な再生ができるよう調整しています。

美的完成度: 私はビジュアルアートにも携わっているため、外装のクリーニングと修復も徹底しています。私の商品は「音の出る家具」です。

デモビデオ: 各商品ページの動画リンクをご覧ください。その個体の実際の音を確認いただけます。

アナログ黄金時代の「真の音」をぜひ体験してください。
