Unique instruments, hand made in Portland, OR.

Based in Portland, Oregon, we have a small shop where we hand craft finely finished instruments, upcycled folk instruments, and experimental noise makers. See our sales site at https://atrumarte.square.site/ to see what's available now, or @atrumkithara and @atrumarte to see what is in the works.

 

Using quality parts, woods (mostly domestic, mill ends, and fsc certified when possible), and recycled materials depending on the instrument. Designs ranging from variations on traditional styles to completely original designs, we strive to make instruments that play good, look stunning, and will last for generations.
