Our instruments combine the best materials, sourced worldwide. Our woods include Maple, Spruce, and Ebony from North America, Europe and Africa. The hardware comes from the USA, Japan, Taiwan, and China.
Tailwater instruments are designed by our team members in Boulder, Colorado. Our hardware selection is guided by our team in Tokyo, Japan. All of our instruments are hand-built by our shop luthier in Shandong, China, and our cases are made by a dedicated team in Guangdong, China. Final instrument setup is completed in Colorado.
Just as our materials come from the best available in each region, our international team brings together all of our strengths to make the best instruments from them.
