Astell&Kern KANN MAX Italian Leather Case

 

The Perfect Fit and Best Grip

The case for KANN MAX is made of high-quality vegetable tanned leather from BADALASSI CARLO and CONCERIA WALPIER, and boasts a high degree of perfection that matches the design of KANN MAX.

The case is available in three colors and is wrapped around the entire product, providing excellent protection and the best grip with a perfect fit.

Leather from BADALASSI CARLO

Badalassi Carlo, a tannery founded by CARLO BADALASSI, who was a professor at a leather school in the Santa Croce region, has been producing leather for more than 40 years by integrating the traditional vegetable leather processing method developed in Tuscany with his unique theory and technology.

Vegetable leather processing is an eco-friendly leather manufacturing method that takes a long time to complete by tanning leather only with tannins extracted from plants.

The leathers of Badalassi Carlo use the vacchetta technique that was developed in Tuscany and then processed using vegetable oil for tanning.

The company pursues high quality by creating products using small batch, handcrafted traditional techniques rather than mass production. The tannery is highly regarded and preferred by famous manufacturers around the world who value the quality of leather produced.

Leather from CONCERIA WALPIER

Established in 1973 in San Miniato, Tuscany, Italy, Walpier Tannery has been in business for three generations and has a long tradition of making leather products based on their highly regarded vegetable tanning processes. The tannery uses only 100% raw hide leathers imported from France and is a member of Vera Pelle, Italy’s association of vegetable-based leather tanners.

Walpier's vegetable tanning is a traditional leather processing method handed down from father to son for centuries in the Tuscany region. The tanning process usually takes 40 days and is a process only practiced by Italian tanners of the world.

In addition, leather products that undergo the vegetable-based tanning process continue to gradually tan over time according to the user's care, usage, style, etc., showing the user's lifestyle and making the product completely unique.

[Mud] Khaki Brown Case

The Khaki Brown case of KANN MAX uses Walpier vegetable tanned leather.
This is Astell&Kern’s first-time using Mud leather, which is a leather product that contains a unique beauty with a strong, yet soft feel.
Mud leather is processed using raw hides from northern France that have narrow pores and excellent quality.
This high quality, full-grain, vegetable tanned leather undergoes minimal artificial post-processing which produces a beautiful, natural luster while maintaining some of the original and natural markings. Since Mud is milled leather, the original grain is well preserved and remains true to its natural embossed texture. Although it is a very tough and durable leather, it has a unique feature of having a soft, smooth feel that is achieved by applying a light paraffin wax one time prior to milling.

[Buttero] Black Case

The black color case of KANN MAX uses Walpier's Buttero leather.
Buttero leather is a leather made by milling the leather to make it soft and natural on the surface. Buttero leather, like other leather used by Walpier, is manufactured from the finest French hides, so the texture is dense, and the surface is smooth.

Due to Walpier’s highly regarded method of vegetable tanning, the Buttero leather boasts excellent color with a perfect surface finish and is highly resistant to scratches. This allows manufacturers to utilize the original texture of the leather without the problems normally associated with other vegetable processing.

[Minerva] Bluish Green Case

Minerva leather, unlike Minerva Box, is a plain, un-milled leather that looks matte at first, but as it gets used, the color deepens and the luster increases, so you can see and feel the change over time.

Minerva is a vegetable tanned leather made using the unique Vacchetta method from Tuscany. At first, the leather looks matte with a lack of sheen, but over time it adds a natural luster and deepens the color. This is because there is no artificial coating on the leather surface, so the gloss rises naturally from the oil contained in the leather itself as it is used. As with other vegetable tanned leathers, Minerva is especially beautiful with time.

About Astell&Kern

Astell&Kern is the ultimate digital music source that brings you Mastering Quality Sound or MQS. Astell means ‘Stars’ in Latin and Kern means ‘Center’ in German. We believe Astell&Kern is the center of music.

Today, original music performances can be captured in digital almost exactly as they were performed due to new, advanced recording technology currently available. However, these high quality recordings are mainly listened to through inferior sound formats, such as MP3 or through streaming services. With the debut of the MP3 format, music lovers sacrificed sound quality for the convenience of being able to carry their music collection wherever they went. Because the MP3 format heavily compresses files for the sake of convenience, the vocals and instruments you hear are only an inferior version of the original. The soundstage and the ambience of the original performance often disappears when listening to compressed MP3 music. After pondering these issues, Astell&Kern was our solution to poor sound quality for the sake of portability, and our way in reviving the original sound quality of music, MQS, for music artists, recording engineers, and professionals.

Astell&Kern's pursuit is to provide natural and original sound without distortion. It showcases the presence of the original recording with miniscule details you may not have noticed from other music systems, while playing back high-resolution music bit by bit, exactly as it was recorded. The ability to play back the exact recording of any live performance is what Astell&Kern is known for.

The power of true sound from Astell&Kern can now be experienced and has been part of many famous audio exhibitions around the world. Astell&Kern is now admired by music lovers from many countries, including the USA, China, Japan, UK, France, and many more around the world.

Kann Max case: excellent handmade product
16 Jul 2022
Verified Buyer
This case of Kann Max is definitely made of high-quality leather showing a relevant degree of perfection that matches the device's design.

Nice to touch and has a good grip when it wraps around the device. The cost is not negligible, but it is worth buying it to protect your Kann Max adequately.

Thanks to Futureshop for timely communications and good service overall.
