The Feickert Woodpecker was born from an idea that aimed to meet customer demands. The common association of a turntable is often linked to a simple design consisting of a wooden box, platter, and tonearm, but Feickert's vision was to evolve this concept by combining timeless elegance with superior audio performance. The result is a new turntable with a unique design that takes sound to an unprecedented level while still maintaining tradition.

The innovative sliding-armboard system with a graduated scale is one of the most appreciated aspects of the Woodpecker. This system allows the tonearm to be replaced in just a few minutes and offers the possibility to mount virtually any tonearm from 9 to 12 inches, ensuring a simple and fast setup. Thanks to this feature, it is easy to change the tonearm, allowing users to adapt it to their preferences and explore new listening options without complications.

The inverted bearing, which reduces the contact area by 80%, was designed to improve stiffness without compromising stability. This improvement has significantly reduced background noise. Additionally, the bearing is equipped with spiral grooves that help push oil inside, improving the interaction between the motor and the bearing, ensuring tighter tolerances and reducing wear.

The high-inertia platter of the Woodpecker is made of POM (Delrin) and includes eight MS58 brass inserts along the outer portion to balance the platter and reduce eccentricity. This adds mass to the platter, improving speed stability and contributing to a more stable and precise sound. The platter is pre-dyed and double-tempered to reduce tension, then precisely machined to ensure a perfectly flat and smooth surface.

The proprietary software-controlled DC motor is designed to provide constant and precise speed, with the ability to easily select between different speeds (33, 45, and 78 RPM) via a set of buttons positioned on the top left of the turntable, near the platter. Two additional buttons allow for fine speed adjustments.

In terms of dimensions, the Woodpecker has a chassis that is 480 mm wide and 380 mm deep, with a 13.5 kg platter. The overall weight of the turntable is about 19.5 kg without the tonearm. Despite its compact structure, the Woodpecker delivers powerful and precise sound that meets the needs of even the most demanding audiophiles.

In conclusion, the Feickert Woodpecker is much more than just a turntable. It is a device that combines sophisticated design and advanced technology, allowing music enthusiasts to listen to music in its purest form, uninterrupted, thanks to sound quality that impresses every time. If you're looking for a turntable that offers extraordinary performance, ease of use, and elegant design, the Woodpecker is an ideal choice.
