Development History
A classic Showa machine is reborn and newly released with Reiwa-era specifications!
The classic machine "GP-3R" created by Columbia (Nippon Columbia) has long been loved as a portable player for easily enjoying vinyl records and has been cherished in many homes. In response to the recent revival of vinyl record culture, ANABAS's "GP-N3R" revived its charm for the modern age. It was reissued under official license, keeping the functions and design of the GP-3R, faithfully reproducing the ease of use and warmth of that time. And now, the latest model "GP-N3BT-R" realizes a new vinyl experience by incorporating Bluetooth functionality while utilizing the goodness of analog, delivering sound wirelessly to speakers and headphones. The lineage of portable records that has been passed down for half a century has become a record player that has evolved to suit the current era.
