      Sorane was founded as “IT Industry” in April of 1974 by Katsuaki Ishiyama-san.

      The company was named after his father, “Takeo Ishiyama”.  Their first contract was polishing head shells by surface grinding by himself alone. The company now has 21 employees, including his daughter and son in law. 

      Sorane manufacture tone arms for several tone arm brands.

      All parts are designed and manufactured in house by their own machine tools, including CNC milling machine center, and manual tool room lathe. Some parts with large diameters (30 – 60mm), and extremely complicated parts, only producible by compound CNC machining with “live tooling”, are produced by sub-contractors.

      The assembly and tuning of our tonearms are made by our craftsmen for ideal mechanical contact, without rattling or play, by hand polishing. Sorane (Abis) are IT Industry original products, and all parts are machine tooled, not die-cast.
