These very special creations are literally carved from a single piece of wood.  Hand selected from the best of the best to become a Hanson T series clarinet.    Our purpose built computer controlled machining centre dedicated to the top line instruments cuts the wood with an accuracy that is difficult to imagine; up to 7 microns (0.007mm) - a tenth of the width of a human hair. In a single process the body of the instrument comes alive as the cutters rotate at up to 60,000rpm; 6,000 time each second to simply glide through the wood without stress or strain to the surface.

Innovation and excellence in our manufacture is clear in both the appearance and performance of the finished instrument.
