About Tamana
Tamana grows in the Ogasawara Islands of Japan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trees were first planted around a hundred years ago as windbreaks, but some have since fallen due to typhoons or age, whilst others were felled for local safety. When the wood was tried for making recorders, its ease of working and fine tone proved to suit the instrument remarkably well, which is why Mr Takeyama became involved in the conservation project.
