Hand-Selected Buffet Crampon Clarinets
At Pereira 3D, we travel to the Buffet Crampon USA headquarters and select the very best instruments in their stock. From there, each instrument is initially set up to ensure all pads seal properly, pads are upgraded to improve the instrument's resonance and response, the mechanism is properly adjusted, poor stock bumpers are replaced, pad heights are corrected, etc. This means you receive a superb-quality instrument in great working order from the very start.
Clarinets are hand selected for their quality of wood, tone/resonance qualities, reliable intonation, and a great blow-through.
In addition, if a clarinet model you wish to purchase is not in stock, you're welcome to join me to visit Buffet Crampon USA in Jacksonville, FL to select your new instrument, or I will make a trip to select the best clarinet to fit your needs.

New/Used Instrument Repair Credit
New and Used clarinets purchased from Pereira 3D are professionally set-up initially for a good seal and mechanism, including pad adjustments/replacement, spring tension adjustments, and replacement of any bumpers that are in poor condition. We recommend that instruments should be regulated every 6 months to keep them in the ideal playing condition, so Pereira 3D offers a repair credit for instruments bought from our shop:
