Since George Washburn began hand crafting fine instruments in his Chicago shop in 1883, times have changed. But the standards he established remain the same. Every Washburn instrument reflects one solid principle upon which George built his company into the world's finest manufacturer of premium musical instruments.... Hand crafted quality.

Hundreds of thousands of instruments bearing the Washburn name have been inspiring demanding musicians since 1883. Their experience, tradition of quality and attention to detail make each Washburn instrument a uniquely valuable investment and assure a lifetime of musical enjoyment!

Crafting affordable, quality instruments has been our goal since the onset of my involvement with Washburn. Some designs, though considered radical at the time, have become industry standards, and are now an integral part of the world music scene. Recognized for their musical instrument innovation, the Washburn craftsmen, with the aid of technology, are building our finest instruments ever. As we welcome the 21st Century, we will continue our tradition of excellence. Expect the Washburn legacy to continue. --Rudy Schlacher, CEO Washburn International Questions/Photos? hlbart@aol.com
