The Listener Select Record Cleaning Brush is manufactured with a handcrafted, solid American cherry handle, which is heat embossed with the Osage logo. The extruded nylon bristles are hand set into the handle using epoxy. These bristles are resistant to microbial growth and are easily rinsed. Their small diameter and soft hand help prevent over-vigorous scrubbing of the record, while still retaining the ability to lift out non-soluble debris. Unlike fabric pad brushes, the Listener Select Record Cleaning Brush will last for thousands and thousands of cleaning cycles, not hundreds. This means lower cost per cleaning cycle. The handcrafted American cherry handle, heat embossed logo, and careful workmanship makes this the classiest and most attractive record cleaning brush on the market as well.
