General Maintenance
Clarinets should be maintained by a repair technician every one to two years.

Our clarinet specialists do a great job play testing to ensure you get a fine-tuned instrument. Key polishing is an added labor cost.

Clarinets do crack on occasion. When this occurs, don’t despair! Make sure to stop playing as soon as you notice a crack, and call us to see how we can best schedule a repair. Crack repairs can take 3-6 days to ensure crack area stabilization.
