When it comes to professional instruments, you should choose the very best. The reality is, not every instrument is the same and it should be play tested before purchasing, similar to test driving a new car. Your personal instrument serves as your musical voice and it should stand out just as much as you do! It is also important to keep your instruments in proper working condition so they are always ready for performance, and regular maintenance is required. Refer to the endorsed providers below.
When it comes to instrument repair in the Tampa Bay Area, there is no one that I would recommend more than Josh Hollenbeck with JH Woodwinds. He is a true expert in his field with fine attention to detail when it comes to woodwind repairs. He is a successful performer who truly understands the unique needs of woodwind alignment, sealing, and maintenance that keeps instruments in tip-top performing shape!
If you are going to buy a clarinet, I highly recommend Bill King at Ann Arbor Clarinet Connection. I purchased my personal instruments from Bill, and I have been extremely pleased. Many of my private students have also used Ann Arbor Clarinet Connection and there has been nothing but positive praise!
Bill handles the shipping, includes a warranty (other retailers will charge extra), and he provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise when hand selecting every instrument.
It really is a no brainer that Bill is the best. He is a professional clarinetist based in Ann Arbor who handpicks and plays every single instrument he sells from the Buffet Factory direct, so you know you are not getting a lemon. Tell him Tony sent you and you will be very well taken care of!
