LEATHERMAN WOODWINDS

Eight years ago I decided to set up a woodshop to revive my dormant woodworking skills. As a musician, I decided that making a musical instrument would be fun. I've always enjoyed playing recorder, so why not make one?... Long story short, over the past six years making recorders has become a mission! I've corresponded extensively with and visited a couple of recorder makers, read everything I can find on the subject, and set up a workshop. As a physicist by training, an engineer by profession and a musician and woodworker in my spare time, I find building instruments to be both challenging and rewarding. My very first recorders were very rough, but I've learned many things along the way. By persistent attention to detail and careful step-by-step improvements I now create instruments that are truly a joy to play.
