Manufacturing is done entirely 
in our premises in Amilly in France

The Atelier du hautbois was founded in 1986
It is located in Amilly, 130 km south of Paris, in the Loiret in France
About 350 instruments are made each year by 10 specialised workers, mostly trained on the premises. Though advanced technologies are used to shape the bore, the keys are still adjusted and fine-tuned by hand.
We devise instruments to suit the needs of aspiring musicians as well as professional ones working in woodwind ensembles or symphonic orchestras. It is our passion
instruments produced each year
