A Restoration to New Condition is our most prestigious, no-compromise service, designed to return a treasured instrument to pristine structural, mechanical, and aesthetic perfection. Over decades of elite professional use, an exceptional clarinet can suffer from worn plating, loose posts, and tired wood, yet retain its irreplaceable acoustic soul.

This master-level service completely strips, rebuilds, and refines every single component of the instrument, combining old-world craftsmanship with modern precision and our proprietary SIGNATI pads to deliver a masterpiece that looks, feels, and plays like a brand-new instrument.

Why this service is essential for professionals:

• The Ultimate Mechanical Precision: Every single key, hinge, rod, and post is individually engineered back to zero-tolerance specifications, providing a buttery, ultra-quiet, and laser-precise key action.
• Aesthetic Rebirth: Complete high-mirror polishing and premium replating (silver or gold) of all keywork, posts, and rings completely erases decades of cosmetic wear and sweat corrosion.
• Acoustic Optimization via SIGNATI: Fully outfitted with our proprietary SIGNATI pads, the instrument receives a massive upgrade in tonal projection, immediate response, and unparalleled mechanical silence.

What the Restoration to New Condition includes:

• Microscopic Diagnostic & Post Alignment: Complete strip-down followed by an exhaustive inspection of the wood and metal. Posts are checked, tightened, and perfectly aligned to ensure a stress-free mechanical axis.
• Total Keywork Re-Manufacturing:
  • Advanced mechanical rebuilding to completely eliminate any radial or lateral play.
  • Complete stripping of old, worn plating, followed by meticulous hand-polishing and premium replating (silver or gold) of all keys, posts, and rings.
• Museum-Grade Wood Restoration:
  • Intensive, multi-stage deep cleaning and long-term oil immersion to fully revitalize the wood's density, color, and acoustic resonance.
  • Invisible cosmetic and structural repair of any surface scratches, chips, or historic crack repairs.
  • Precision polishing of the inner bore and tone holes to optimize airflow and response.
• 100% Premium Renewal:
  • Complete installation of our proprietary SIGNATI pads, meticulously selected and individually leveled for an absolute, permanent airtight seal.
  • Full replacement of all tenon corks, key corks, bumpers, and silencing materials using only the finest natural cork and high-density luxury felts.
• Bespoke Regulation & Ergonomics:
  • Custom-tailoring of spring tensions, venting heights, and key travel to match your exact physiological preferences and playing style.
• Acclimatization & Quality Assurance: The instrument is monitored, settled, and tested over several days using advanced vacuum diagnostics, followed by rigorous professional play-testing to ensure absolute tonal and mechanical perfection.

When to consider this service:

This service is recommended for exceptional vintage instruments, prized horns that have accompanied you throughout your career, or any professional clarinet that has reached the end of its traditional wear-cycle but possesses an acoustic character too valuable to replace.
