Item Description
Guided by their love of vinyl, Christine Pretorius and Jim Carter have worked on this major carbon fibre brush. Putting 2 and 2 together, they came up with a 14 row brush! - a far more effective tool to easily tackle the dust in your record grooves.

Carbon Fibre record cleaning brushes have been around for decades. They work reasonably well at collecting the dust into a neat line, rather less well at removing it from the record surface. If you repeat the cleaning procedure you will see another line of fine dust gathered, time after time! With care and patience it is possible to remove a great deal of even very fine dust. The ursa major brush achieves more, and much easier for two reasons: With 7 times as many rows of fibre you are capturing far more particles straight away. (Think of a multi-blade razor.) Then the subtle curve allows for a smooth scooping action to aid lifting the dust off the surface.

The ursa major brush
Is electrically conductive with a solid aluminium body in which 14 rows of carbon fibre, (7 double rows), are securely set. Through the close bonding between metal and carbon fibre a path for electrostatic discharge is created.

Is the ursa major brush anti-static?
Certainly! The build-up of a static charge is countered by discharge through the brush itself. Carbon fibre is an excellent conductor and the construction puts the fibre in direct contact with the metal of the main body. Your fingers provide the path to earth.

There is no coating on the aluminium of the URSA MAJOR brush. (The logo is etched into the metal, not printed, so there is no protective covering needed.) Many brushes have a coating, clear or coloured, on the aluminium body shell. This can, at least, hinder the electrical contact, and often obstructs it altogether.

The top surface is enhanced with an inset of solid wood, shaped and finished in a specialised wood workshop for handicapped people near Berlin. Elsterwerkstätten.

At present we are offering a choice of two kinds of wood. These are real solid wood - not veneer.

Using the ursa major brush
• The brush is used with the record rotating on the turntable either with power or by hand. Generally, even better results can be achieved with hand rotation. Gently bring the brush to bear on the record surface for one or two rotations and slowly move the brush with a scooping action before lifting vertically.

• Removing it sideways tends to leave the dust you have collected on the record - all you have done is to redistribute it! No pressure is needed, the weight of the brush itself is enough for the fine fibres to fully reach into the grooves.
• The brush is best cleaned on the edge of the stand away from the turntable. Please do not use your hand or clothing for this, there are always some contaminents there. The operation may be repeated as required.
• Always slide the brush back in its stand (lengthways not vertically) when not in use. Do not let the brush stand on its fibres.

• Measurements: 11cm x 5 cm x 4 cm (incl. frame) -Weight: 185g.
