site map

Steel Island provides a journey to the very heart of the steel drum musical instrument, to its birthplace in Laventille, Port of Spain, on the island of Trinidad. Here the intuitive development of the manufacturing art form resulted in the creation of steel drums, or "steelpans", as they are called in Trinidad, unparalleled anywhere in the world. Steel Island's concert and recording quality steelpans are expertly handcrafted from superior steel, sourced and selected by us, and personally inspected and fine-turned by Bertie Marshall, Trinidad's foremost tuner and originator of modern harmonic style tuning. Our steelpans are built under the direct supervision of renowned builder and tuner Tony Slater, Marshall's protege of 35 years, who provides our expert steelpan maintenance. Please contact us for a brochure, for purchasing and renting steelpans, and for blending and tuning maintenance. We can also provide experienced professional steel drum artists for parties, clubs, concerts, festivals, instructional workshops, studio and film recording, and commercials, as well as selected CD's. Please contact us for an appointment to visit Steel Island to hear our steelpans.
