Wooden Housing, Naturally Charming

Being made of high-quality aged wood imported from North America, each Melody dongle has its own unique texture and color, with every grain contributing to a unique sound.

The wood has been carefully processed for quality, through precise CNC machining, polishing, oiling, drying, and other intricate processes.

The wooden housing remains timeless thanks to its warm, smooth touch as well as the color naturally darkening over time, becoming ever more lustrous.

Blade-like elegance merges with the warmth of wood, adding a dynamic touch to a classical design.

The arcs also fit naturally to the fingers, making it enjoyable to use. These small details are just some examples of the user-centric design of the Melody.
