Clarinets: Clarinet repads include new Premium quality Ferree double skin pads or Premium Ferree white leather pads or premium corks, body and oiling (wood only) and regulating. Please see our Clarinet Questions and General Questions on our Q&A page.
Each and every Clarinet, Student to Professional, is inspected top to bottom, inside and out for any imperfections and can be corrected if they cause any issues with tone or playability. Your clarinet is then meticulously worked on to bring it to top playing condition.
But having an instrument look great is not the only end product. We will play your clarinet for 2-6 hours meticulously tweaking everything to make it the most beautiful sounding and smooth feeling that it can possibly be. Initial test includes all extended scales, 3rd, 5th, 7ths, various trills, we then play through a repertoire which is recorded and reviewed for tonal irregularities. If you have a particular piece you are fond of send it along and you can review the recording yourself before we carefully package it and ship it back to you for your enjoyment.
We only work on a couple instruments at a time to make sure each one gets the appropriate care and attention to bring them to optimum playing capability. We are not a repair house that churns out hundreds of repairs per month, so please contact us for a potential time slot. We do cater to professionals and from time to time an Emergency repair may come in which may require all of our attention to turn around quickly.
Overall, the value you receive far exceeds the price you pay. The individual attention given to your instrument is extraordinary and we believe you will believe the same when you receive your clarinet back into your hands.
Even though we specialize in professional instruments we still sell and repair student instruments. Generally, most quick minor repairs are done for $20 and we use the same high quality corks, felts, double bladder pads and attention to detail as in our professional services.
Most of these repairs are done for local beginner, student, college/university and professional players. If you need a quick checkup, minor repair or anything even through a complete overhaul, please give us a call for an appointment.

Certified clarinets will go through the following process:
I get asked many times if I also can do their flute repads. I do not specialize in flutes but I also play and can repad/overhaul flutes. I do not have the equipment to properly remove dents from a "mangled" flute but do have body mandrels and some dent removing equipment. Includes new high quality double bladder pads, felts, corks and springs where needed, body cleaning and polishing. No shortcuts on quality or repair craftsmanship. But I do limit the amount of flutes that I work on due to my specialization in clarinets.
Price for flute repads is an economical $ 135
Many may be surprised to learn that I have extensive experience repadding and overhauling saxophones. I use high quality pads (no cheap pads with thin skins) and selmer style plastic domed resonators. I can offer other resonators at an additional cost. Once again, I do not maintain large undenting equipment for saxophones but can provide a high quality repad/overhaul of your alto or tenor saxophone at an affordable price.
Price for alto saxophone repads/overhaul is an economical $ 450
Price for tenor saxophone repads/overhaul is an economical $ 550
