We've cleaned it, oiled the wood, and done our full repair session that took approximately five hours. It has a darker, resonant sound. Everything on this clarinet is in great condition, and it's ready for years of trouble-free use. Contact us today to set up your in-person appointment, or we can ship directly to you for an at-home trial.

Every few months we travel to the Buffet Crampon USA Warehouse to personally select the very best clarinets they have to offer. We sift through 50-60 clarinets per visit to find truly outstanding instruments.

When choosing a clarinet, we look for the following characteristics:

• Superior Tone - With evenness throughout the range
• Excellent Resonance and Vibrancy - we listen for that extra sparkle that few clarinets possess
• Even Tuning
• Wood That is Free of Defects - No knots, chips, or wavy grain

With our setup, your clarinet will be its very best from the start!Clarinets from any factory (even the very best Buffet Clarinets) are not perfect in terms of keywork, pads, spring tension, etc. What sets us apart is that every single clarinet receives a full professional-quality setup to make the mechanical feel and function as good as the sound. We spend a great deal of time addressing every issue that can keep your clarinet from playing its absolute best.

Every clarinet is checked to make sure the following things are perfect:

• Pressure/Suction - No leaking pads
• Key Movement - No binding or drag
• Spring Tension - Proper tension and balance
• Ring Heights - Checked for proper evenness and height
• Pad Height Opening - Checked for proper venting (no stuffiness)
• Key Spatula Locations - Key positions checked for ergonomics
