"The drawing of sound from wood is among the oldest and most primal manifestations of human communication and musical expression."

Handcrafted
Handcrafted
All of our drums are handcrafted and tuned at our shop in Flagstaff, AZ. Each board is hand-picked for visual beauty and acoustic excellence. We’ve become masters at listening for tone quality in each piece of hardwood.
Musical Freedom
We call the tuning compositions in our drums "open-harmonic". This means that anyone, regardless of prior knowledge or musical ability, can create music that sounds pleasing to the ear without a worry of playing a "wrong note".
Organic Voice
By nature, all Hardwood Music instruments are one of a kind. Built from the exotic hardwoods of the world, each of our drums offer a unique musical voice. Since no two planks of wood are alike, no two drums are either.
