A clarinet line that makes customized, hand-tuned instruments accessible for all players!
 
The Pereira Custom clarinet line was carefully developed after experiencing instrument prices rising every year. They're made to sing in symphony orchestras, pit orchestras, and bands, but can absolutely be used in marching band and other outdoor situations as well, since the materials are NOT susceptible to cracking or changing over time. I designed each instrument with the following points in mind:
 
- The body, barrel, bell, etc., are extensively hand-finished and voiced to sound, tune, and respond at professional standards
- You have the choice of barrel/bell/extension set-up to perfectly match your sound concept
- The materials will never crack or change due to temperature or humidity factors, require a break-in process, and can even be used in dry/cold weather playing situations
- 2 barrel lengths come standard to provide options for different mouthpieces or different intonation scenarios
- The keywork and posts feature thicker silver plating, so the keys are extremely durable and not at all pliable
- A left-hand alternate Eb key comes standard (and is easily removable if you choose to play without it!)
- Those who tend to play low F & E flat (i.e., on a Buffet R13 or similar) can have the option to have a small vent hole in the bell at no extra charge
 
Furthermore, the customer can choose between the "Traditional" Set-Up (65mm and 64mm Philadelphia barrels, Traditional extension, and custom bell) or the "Dark" Set-Up (65mm and 64mm Bold model barrels, Bold extension, and custom bell) to accomodate their sound preferences. There is no upcharge for any of the customizations!
 
The upper and lower joints are crafted from a proprietary hard rubber and feature a polycylindrical (a modified R13-style) bore with undercut tone holes. Leather pads are installed which are long-lasting and allow for a warm sound with seamless legato. All Pereira Custom Clarinets come with your choice of either 3D Blackwood or 3D Mahogany barrels/bell/extension. 3D Blackwood provides more focus, center, and "ping" or color in the sound. 3D Mahogany provides slightly more warmth and darkness of sound with a bit more flexibility in the feel of the response. The extension that's provided is an optional piece. The extension is placed between the lower joint and the bell and helps focus and control the response while adding more density and core to the sound. It will also help the intonation of the twelfths between low E/F and B/C.
 
All Pereira Custom Clarinets come with a 2-year shop warranty. Pereira Custom A Clarinets come with a Protec Double Case as shown in the photos. There is no mouthpiece included with Pereira Custom Clarinets.
