The Cambridge Woodwind Makers are an organisation based in Cambridge, UK who have created a workshop to preserve and promote the art and artisanship of woodwind instrument making.
The facilities provided by the Cambridge Woodwind Makers offer professionals and novices a chance to learn more about how to make and repair instruments, it also offers the general public an opportunity to observe and appreciate the skills used.
One of the ways in which Cambridge Woodwind Makers promotes the preservation of woodwind instrument making in the UK is through running courses which provides opportunity for and encourages participation by children and adults alike.
