A long Journey... In the early 1960's, 6 year old John Stannard designed and built his first instrument- a banjo made from rubber bands and a wine box. He went on to build guitars with his father, a piano rebuilder and tuner by trade. In 1979 Stannard formed Om percussion, the company that would invent the energy chime, the double row chime tree and the laminated temple block. In 1985 J W Stannard company was formed to make wind chimes tuned to ancient scales.
In 1993 Stannard began hammering bronze. On the island of Bali he studied forging briefly in the fire pits. The education was more spiritual than intellectual. "Bali will transform you if you are malleable. In 2006, a lifetime of listening, followed by a long and focused research period paid off.The small studio of metalsmiths headed by Stannard, unveiled a new line of hand hammered stick-playable hybrid instruments in 2006 to a rave response. "Hybrids, as we craft them, combine instrument classes to form surprising results."
FX for drummers... "All our pieces are stick playable and very tough! They are for drummers as well as percussionists", says Stannard. Individual works of art... Hammerax® has filed dozens of trademarks, patents, and copyrights on their works and brands. Their bronze alloys are all cast, rolled and hand hammered in a proprietary process. "Investment in a Hammerax® work means the acquisition of an individual work of art,signed by the artist. They are consistently beautiful in sound and look, but no two are alike."When you buy one, know that there will never be another exactly like it. says Stannard. "Our mission is to shake up ears and preconceptions."
