The clarinet workshop in Paris

5/5 Stars.

As a jazz Clarinet musician playing on ancient instruments more than often do I need some quick and precise fine adjustments. Béatrice Guéritaud, your constant availability whenever requested, the way you pay attention with such care and kindness, and your skillful work make me trust you without the slightest hesitation.

What to say… At pushing the door, we are in the mood at once. Kindness, efficiency…
From the apprentice clarinetist to the rising and falling stars, not forgetting the jazzman and the street musician, here is Béatrice, listening, reassuring and repairing our ill-treated instruments……..If we are lucky enough to pop in on a fiesta night at the Cité Riverin, we are grabbed and solicited to take part into the fiesta : this is the charming aspect of ‘Le Coin des Bois’
Here is Béatrice’s workshop this is what it’s all about and …. even more, just step in !!

I’m very fond of Béa!
Whenever I come she greets me with a smile. Her good mood prevails in her so cordial workshop.
She always gives me some pretty good advice and I entrust her with my clarinets with no apprehension whatsoever!
My students are delighted on account of her most affordable prices and so are their parents.
I keep being impressed as well as satisfied by her work.
Thank you Béa!

The workshop, Le Coin des Bois is a most convivial place where one feels good.
Béatrice has been my instrument fixer for several years now. She is a very good listener and is fond of what she does.
I entrust her with my clarinets for repair (Bflat, A, Eflat but also bass and contrabass clarinets).

Neither really in a corner nor in the midst of woods as may be expected.
It is both a good location and a very good address where Beatrice takes good care of the woodwind instruments and where one will find receptiveness and skill. She is always with a reassuring smile on her face and will diagnose your problems in a jiffy.
Be warned, you will be equally treated should you be a star or only a stardust !
Thank you Béa.

What can I say without making you blush? Your work is outstandingly reliable and always available in case of an emergency. But coming to you is also a way of combining business and pleasure in the peaceful quiet of your workshop.
Also Bravo for your courage in starting your business.
Nowadays it is quite a thing to do !

Some people have their therapist, their hairdresser and some even have their confessor. I have my instrument fixer.

Béatrice has been my technician for ever. She is the beauty at ‘Le Coin des Bois’ I met her when she was still an apprentice in instrument fixer. I was not yet an apprentice clarinetist which I was longing to become . I decided to invest , no matter the cost, in excellence and chose a E13 by Buffet Crampon.

Béatrice is the one who talked me into buying such a jewel. She allowed my teacher to have access to all the E13.

After he had blown into them all, I followed with admiration my teacher’s advice and I bought one .
To be honest, I had noticed no difference between the seemingly identical instruments but I never ever had to complain about that choice.

Time went by and the young apprentice girl became an independent instrument fixer. I’m still an apprentice clarinetist .
As she settled nearby my place, I, of course, remained a faithful customer .

The charm of La Cité Riverin, the character of the workshop, the way we are welcomed are indeed some of the many reasons to go there from time to time should it be for a chat …. Though, she quite frankly prefers it when we settle the deal with her !

When giving her my clarinet for some diagnoses, I also realized my favorite technician was a remarkable musician and that her advice could be more than only technical.
