WHO WE ARE

Artena Music was founded by world renowned clarinetists Charles Neidich and Ayako Oshima.

Our Story

Founded in 2018, Artena Music was born from a passion and a desire to bring the finest clarinet equipment to musicians in the United States. 

​

Our goal is to promote the highest quality equipment crafted for the clarinet lover.  To ensure that the artist is free to be as musically ambitious as one can be requires materials made to bring the music itself to life.

 

Both Charles Neidich and Ayako Oshima have honed their playing and musicianship over years to be regarded as some of the most skilled performers alive today.  They have worked tirelessly with the companies and brands they represent and sell, being insistent on their high standards.  Working with these companies and craftsmen, they have developed a close relationship, and performer and crafter together have created the most exceptional products.

 

 

We are proud to represent:

  • ISHIMORI Wood Stone – Reeds and ligatures, handcrafted in JAPAN.

  • Seggelke Klarinetten – High quality clarinets and accessories, handcrafted in Bamberg, GERMANY.

 

 

Artena Music is the exclusive U.S. dealer for Seggelke Klarinetten and an authorized dealer of ISHIMORI Wood Stone products.
