Precision adjustment of each pad for accurate alignment with tone holes.
Full mechanical regulation, including key heights and spring balance, for an even feel.
Lubrication of all moving parts to eliminate key noise and roughness.
Professional play‑testing across all registers to verify sealing and response.
90‑day warranty on pads and workmanship, plus a complimentary follow‑up adjustment if needed.

These upgrades are completely optional and only recommended if your clarinet will truly benefit from them. Prices are for a Bb clarinet; we’ll confirm final costs after inspection.

Personalize your clarinet with colored pads on visible keys. This cosmetic upgrade includes the extra layout and setup time needed to keep the instrument sealing as well as it looks.Cork pad upgrade bundle (upper joint keys) – 35 dollars
Selected upper‑joint keys are fitted with cork pads for extra clarity, a cleaner attack, and a crisper key feel in the most sensitive part of the instrument.Deep cosmetic cleaning and key polishing – 40 dollars
