The musical instrument industry is closely tied to the broader arts and entertainment sectors, contributing to the overall economic and social well-being of many countries.

Production process

The production of musical instruments involves a range of specialized techniques and processes. Stringed instruments, such as guitars and violins, are typically crafted by skilled luthiers who carefully select and shape the wood, install the strings, and fine-tune the instrument's sound. Wind instruments, like saxophones and trumpets, are often manufactured through a combination of metalworking, precision engineering, and specialized finishing techniques. Percussion instruments, including drums and cymbals, are produced using a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, and synthetic compounds, and are assembled using specialized tools and methods.

Production inputs

The musical instrument industry relies on a variety of raw materials and resources, including high-quality woods (e.g., maple, spruce, rosewood), metals (e.g., brass, steel, aluminum), and specialized components like strings, reeds, and electronic parts. Manufacturers also require specialized machinery and tools, such as woodworking equipment, metalworking tools, and precision measurement devices, to ensure the production of high-quality, durable instruments. Additionally, the industry depends on skilled craftspeople, engineers, and technicians to design, build, and maintain these complex and intricate products.

Production outputs

The musical instruments produced under HS code 92 are primarily consumed by the 38 Entertainment and media and 85 Electrical machinery and equipment industries.
