Repad & Overhauls - Resin & Plastic Clarinets


Repad & Overhaul for Resin and Plastic Clarinets

Re-padding and/or overhaul work on resin or plastic clarinets is undertaken on a case by case basis.

The reason for this is that until we have inspected the clarinet we are unable to determine how much work is required and unfortunately sometimes the amount of work required outweighs the price of an equivalent instrument.




Clarinet Restoration

All restorations are quoted on a case by case basis after inspection. Please call us to arrange a suitable time.

Repad, overhaul and restorations on soprano, alto, bass and contra bass clarinets are all quoted upon inspection. Please call to arrange a suitable time to speak with our technicians.

 

All above prices are a guide only. You will be given an accurate quotation when the instrument has been inspected by a technician. If we find that extra work is required after commencement of the quoted work, we will contact you. We will then discuss options and pricing prior to commencement of any extra work. We aim to always have your instrument playing at its best.
