My Project

We need two clarinets! We have a few school instruments that are very old and have some students who need access to new instruments. These students have a passion for the clarinet, are advancing at a rapid speed, and are in dire need of a clarinets that can perform correctly.

I have repaired my older clarinets several times, but I just can't make them work anymore.

They are on their last legs, ready to be used as spare parts—to go, as they say, to that great woodwind cloud in the sky. Please help me get my students new, working clarinets so they can be their very best!
