Takeyama Recorders

 Beginning in Osaka Japan over 60 years ago, Takeyama have now become one of the most sought-after recorder makers anywhere in the world. They employ the extremely fine woodworking skills for which Japan is famous and combine that with a unique gift for matching the voicing of the recorder to the characteristics of the wood being used. A single Takeyama recorder requires two to five years to make. Each instrument is created by a team of eight craftsman and undergoes more than 60 processes.  

 Please Note: Takeyama recorders are in high demand, and there can often be a significant waiting time for a model once it is out of stock. We recommend using the automated notification system so that if you are waiting for a particular instrument, you will be notified the moment it becomes available: go to the instrument’s More Info page and enter your email address in the box provided.
