About Pereira 3D
My company began in 2014 when I created my first aftermarket clarinet barrel. It’s amazing how such a small part of the clarinet can affect every aspect of its performance. I was raised in a household of engineers, constantly learning about the newest technologies and their advancements. It started my work towards finding a barrel that gives me a clear, centered, and effortless sound, eventually turning to 3D printing to enhance the level of precision and customization along with the ability to experiment with new materials. From there, it expanded to bells, ligatures, and even Bb and A clarinets, which take advantage of these great materials, including 3D-printed wood materials that will never crack, never change in dimensions, and will not require a break-in process. They're also lighter in weight, removing a notable amount of stress from the right thumb while keeping the sonic qualities of traditional wooden products.

Over the course of 4 years between my undergraduate and graduate work as a clarinet performance major, I was also a clarinet repair apprentice. Outside of working in my teacher's repair shop while a graduate student, I was able to experiment with the many aspects of setting up a clarinet and test its performance in various playing situations while in school. This ranged from pad selection to bumper materials to barrel tapers, and even beveling particular cork pads to affect the way the pad vents, among other tests. Applying my learnings at the Conservatory turned out to be invaluable since opening my shop. After my start making repairs to classmates' instruments along with others in the Boston area, I am now thrilled to have my repair shop and custom accessory showroom in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I am thrilled to offer my comprehensive services for the clarinet. I look forward to helping others become more confident and excited about the equipment they play.
