Richard Nunns is a living authority on ngä taonga puoro (Mäori traditional musical instruments). He has been described as one of New Zealand's most remarkable musicians.

His thorough and sensitive research has provided a wealth of information around the sounds, history and stories of these taonga, ensuring their preservation for future generations. He has received national and international recognition as he takes the instruments into conversation, discussion and collaboration with different cultures and musical genres.

Richard's website

Richard wanted a website that reflected natural Aotearoa, without specifically Mäori artwork.

Richard's site is designed for people and organisations who might employ him, people who have an interest in the traditional Mäori instruments, and to honour the instruments and the story behind their renaissance.

This site includes the usual background of biography,recognition, his many cds, and the wide range of contributions he makes to contemporary music. It also showcases the instruments, allowing the visitor to both see and hear many instruments. A downloadable file is also available for some instruments.
