005 HOW WE MAKE IT

IT'S A LONG ROAD from an idea, to a working prototype, to the finished instrument. There's a lot of testing, refining and more testing along the way. What kind of material to use? What size? How will all that affect the sound? And so on. It has to come together in a way that not only sounds great, but is also playable and durable. It's our passion for details that makes MEINL different. We put together creative people's ideas, with German engineering and modern production facilities. MEINL has become a world leader in percussion by seeing the creative process through, from inspiration to finished instrument. CONCEPTS BECOME VISUALIZED WITH 3D COMPUTER MODELS BEFORE PRODUCTION BEGINS. meinlpercussion.com MUSIKMESSE INTERNATIONAL PRESS AWARDS

THE MIPA AWARD GOES TO... Our Research & Development process is a collaboration between very creative people: Players and designers. We are all passionate about what we do. The MEINL Percussion approach to R & D is open- minded, straightforward, and based on mutual respect. That's how we get things done. That's why MEINL won the most MIPA awards of all percussion brands.

007 MEINL & ECOLOGY

IT’S OUR WORLD, WE CARE FOR IT Actions speak louder than words! This is why we take our responsibility seriously and commit ourselves to several environmental projects. Our specially developed vacuum distillation saves 90,000 liters of drinking water, the world’s most threatened resource. In order to minimize our electricity usage, all of our buildings are equipped with motion sensors and our central- ized electricity controls prevents the waste of this resource. With our solar-power-plant (Pho- tovoltaic-System) we produce enough power to supply 153 houses with electricity. All of the electricity used in our facility is produced from renewable energies. Thus we reduced our car- bon monoxide emission from 216 tons per year down to zero. Reusable materials like paper, plastic or styrofoam are too precious to be wast- ed. We separate them for efficient recycling.

LEGAL WOOD FROM INDONESIA MEINL Percussion is proud to be in full accordance with the Timber Legality Assurance System known as SVLK. The SVLK verification certifies that all of the wood products manufactured in Indonesia, comply with Indonesian forest, and other relevant, laws. It also certifies that all the products come from sources that are legally logged, transported, traded, and processed. This is all in accordance with Indonesia‘s initiative to answer the global need to be more responsible with the utilization of its natural resources.

WOOD FROM ENVIRONMENTALLY CONTROLLED WOOD PLANTATION Thailand is a logical manufacturing base for percussion instruments due to the fact that the Hevea Brasiliensis, which was indigenous to Brazil and later transported by way England to Asia, has been commercially grown in Southeast Asia during the last century on plantation farms for the production of Latex. The traditional plantation of Rubber Wood (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.-Arg.) meets all ecological requirements. Same counts for the plantation grown Mahogany Wood from Indonesia, which we use for our Original African Style Rope Tuned Wood Djembes. In a natural evolution, new trees are planted and the older ones, which have ceased to provide latex, are harvested. In this way, plenty of raw material is available and the valuablerain forest eco-system is preserved. RUBBER WOOD PLANTATION FARM IN THAILAND meinlpercussion.com MEINL & ECOLOGY

MATERIAL & ECOLOGY Wood is a raw material which is present in almost every part of our daily life. Trees are an important part of the complex eco-system while healthy forests are imperative for the Earth‘s atmosphere. Only plantation grown Wood is used for the making of MEINL percussion instruments. This wood fulfils the CITES regulations ("Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora") and originates from environmentally controlled forests from industrial wood plantations.
