This year, Tycoon celebrates 37 years of manufacturing excellence in the musical instruments industry.  Our company traces its roots back to the spring of 1983 when an avid musician from Hong Kong named Stephen Yu turned his back on a lucrative career in commodities trading to pursue his lifelong dream of establishing his own company to manufacture musical instruments. Tycoon Music Company was founded later that year in Bangkok, Thailand.  Not long after, Stephen realized that Thailand had a distinct advantage in the manufacturing of hand percussion instruments, which, coupled with the growing worldwide demand for this product, significantly altered the course of the company’s future.
