About Caron-lÉcuyer

Caron-L'Écuyer is a family business based in Quebec, Canada, specializing in the creation, production and sale of fine wooden musical spoons, a traditional percussion musical instrument. We care about every step of spoon making, from the tree to the finished instrument. Most of the hardwoods we use are locally harvested and come from a woodland near our workshop. All our musical spoons are original models created by us and meeting highest standards of excellence in sound, design and ergonomy. Our spoons are sold and promptly shipped all over the world.

Musical spoons are traditionally made in Quebec from hardwoods. The logs must be harvested in winter, when the trees are dormant and the wood not engorged with sap. The logs are then cut into planks thick enough to carve the spoons.The pieces are then stacked to dry, well protected from sun and rain. It takes at least three or four years to air-dry a piece of hardwood of this thickness, but even after that, kiln-drying is necessary to achieve an acceptable level of humidity and to ensure that the wood remains stable and the spoons do not tend to warp.

Caron-L'Écuyer musical spoons are easy-to-play percussion instruments: two spoons struck together to produce a sound that is repeated at the desired rhythm. Fun and convivial, they are used to set the rhythm for wakes of music and song, to mark the cadence of a melody, to accompany singers and musicians.
