Yuri Suzuki’s lo-fi Easy Record Maker will not only teach kids what a record is, but it will also show them how they’re created, and in the process ensure they never take streaming music services like Spotify for granted.
Suzuki, an experience and sound designer who’s also a partner at famed design studio Pentagram, created the Easy Record Maker for Japan’s Gakken as both an educational toy for kids and an affordable way for adults to dabble in record production.
It’s got a built-in speaker you can use instead of its headphone jack, and while the sound quality from it probably isn’t top-notch, you also shouldn’t expect your DIY creations to sound like a professionally- produced vinyl record that’s been properly pressed.
If you’re willing to drop $80 on this kit when it eventually arrives in the US and Europe closer to the holidays (have they been canceled yet?)
