Maintenance
& Repair

 

Clarinets and flutes in competent hands

To safeguard your valuable investment throughout its lifespan, I suggest regular upkeep. A comprehensive Clean, Oil, and Adjust (COA) procedure should be completed at The Clarinet Lab workshop  approximately every 12-18 months. For instruments that have experienced heavy use over multiple years, a complete restoration can bring your instrument back to original manufacturer specifications.

Important: All warranty and maintenance repairs exclude shipping costs. Customers are responsible for covering transportation expenses both to and from The Clarinet Lab workshop.
