Products and Retailers

• Schwenk and Seggelke

Clarinet makers based in Germany. I play their Model 1000 (French fingerings/French bore) clarinet, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

• Stephen Fox

Master clarinet maker and performer. I play klezmer music on a Stephen Fox C clarinet (with extended range to low D) and haven't found a better C clarinet anywhere.

• Kooiman Thumbrest

Highly customizable, VERY well-made ergonomic thumbrest. I've been using the same one for over a decade, and it's still as good as new.
