About
Seven people and one product
Kerf Instruments started in 2021 in a rented corner of a metal shop in Leeds, because three of us had spent a decade recording on location and were tired of holding a torch in our teeth to read a screen.

We make one thing. That is not modesty, it is arithmetic: seven people cannot support two products properly, and a recorder that nobody answers the phone about is worth less than one that costs fifty pounds more.

Tooling is cut fifteen minutes from the workshop and assembly happens in the same building. When a part is wrong we walk over. That is the entire supply chain story and it is why we can put a date on this page and mean it.
