Windmill


　Windmillは、ドイツのエレクトリックギター・ベースの製作の腕があることで名高いスタッフが集まり、プロの演奏家の為の楽器のみを製作する為に2003年に発足した弦楽器製作メーカーです。
　Windmillの精鋭スタッフは、それまでに経験してきた様々なノウハウや、試行錯誤の全てをWindmillの楽器に盛り込む為に、良質の材を選んで１本１本ハンドメイドで製作しています。
　また、Windmillを立ち上げた一つのコンセプトとして新しいハイエンド楽器の形を世に示す、というものがあります。ハイエンド楽器は、大変な手間と時間をかけて製作され、それに見合った価格も持っていることは珍しくありませんが、Windmillはその常識に挑戦するべく、コストとクオリティの両立を目指しています。
　Windmillの楽器のルックスは、それほど際立って異なるものではありませんが、その実は、外見からは想像できない、大変に充実した深みのある質感を持っています。
　それこそがLinley MartheやJay Teeをはじめとするヨーロッパだけでなく世界的に名の知られた若く情熱的なミュージシャンの支持を得ている最大の理由でしょう。
　SLEEK ELITEで扱わせていただいている楽器ではそういうことはありませんが、世の中にある、いくつかの有名プレイヤーの使用するメーカーでは、プロ自身が使っている楽器と、その名を冠しているにも関わらず、コストダウンの為に異なった仕様の楽器を販売しているメーカーもありますが、Windmillでは、それぞれのエンドーサーの使用する楽器と全く同じクオリティ・スペックのものが入手できるのも、プロの演奏家のみを対象として楽器製作を行っていた工房の大きな特徴です。
