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
- A Tone Hole Extension is included standard - a staple accessory for improving the overall playability of the Eb Clarinet
- 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 (40mm and 38mm) 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!)
The upper and lower joints are crafted from a proprietary hard rubber and feature a polycylindrical (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. There is no mouthpiece included with Pereira Custom Clarinets.
