Terre is a world-renowned brand that specializes in instruments for folk and world music. The brand was founded in 1879 by Emil Ruder, an Austrian immigrant who was inspired to create instruments for the outdoors. The company has since grown exponentially with 17 locations around the world - including locations in the U.S., France, Canada, Germany, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan and Thailand. Terre instruments are made from sustainably sourced materials and are designed to blend seamlessly into the environment. They are also designed to be durable for outdoor use. The company's line of wind instruments includes saxophones (including soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone and baritone saxophone), clarinets (soprano clarinet, alto clarinet, tenor clarinet and bass clarinet), flutes (mainstream flute and recorder), oboes (mainstream oboe and bass oboe) and bassoons (mainstream bassoon and contrabassoon). Terre's line of woodwinds includes: piccolos (mainstream piccolo and contrabass piccolo), clarinets (soprano clarinet and alto clarinet), oboes (mainstream oboe and bass oboe) and bassoons (mainstream bassoon and contrabassoon). Terre uses sustainably sourced wood as well as maple as a key component to their instruments. The maple is sourced from North America as well as Europe. The wood is kiln-dried to ensure it is dry before it is used in the instrument. Terre produces wind instruments using a traditional craftsmanship process. The instrument is hand-carved out of maple with the mouthpiece made from copper; they make drums using locally sourced materials such as spruce or cedar. Terre's design philosophy has been around since their founding. Their motto is "You don't build a time machine; you build a life." Their instruments are designed to blend into the environment; they use materials such as wood that will naturally weather over time with exposure to sun and rain. Terre is noted for producing environmentally friendly products with a focus on sustainability for both people and planet. https://en.m.Wikipedia.org/
