Musical

While some instruments are mass-produced in countries like China and Indonesia, many musicians prefer to support domestic or specialty instrument makers who produce unique, high-quality instruments. The production of musical instruments can also have environmental and ethical implications, as some materials used in instrument-making are derived from endangered species or produced in unsustainable ways. As such, it is important for musicians to consider the source and impact of the instruments they play, and to support makers and manufacturers who prioritize sustainability and ethical production practices.
