For over five years, woodwind players throughout Hawke’s Bay have relied on us to keep their clarinets in peak playing condition. While we love supporting our local music scene across Hastings, Napier, Havelock North, Central HB, Clive, and Taradale, our workshop also regularly services clarinets shipped to us from musicians nationwide.
Instruments we service:
Bb Clarinet
A Clarinet
Every clarinet is unique, with its own history and playing wear. That’s why we assess each instrument individually. When calculating your quote, we take into account its age, craftsmanship, current condition, and previous repair history. Whether you visit the workshop in person or safely courier your instrument to us, you’ll always receive a clear, accurate quote before any work begins.
Once we get your instrument on the bench for a physical inspection, we will thoroughly evaluate it and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Unsure if your clarinet just needs a simple adjustment or a complete repad? Reach out anytime for a friendly, no-pressure chat about your instrument.
