Wooden clarinet maintenance as well as wind instruments


Atlier réparation instruments musique Paris

One question comes up regularly. What does the clarinette service consist in ?

This very term of service is pretty wide and lets us deal with may things. For a professional technician, it does not only mean the checking of the mechanics and/or the suppression of the issues encountered.

At Le Coin des Bois, we make the difference between ‘checking or fixing’ and
‘overall checking’.

The name says it all : it consists in making a general and acute review of the instrument and hence proceed to a thorough cleaning before anything else is done. Only then can the musician have a better approach of the issue, which will eventually enable him to make adjustments or repairs, the instruments being all different.

Those issues may rank from a simple missing spring , torn corks, pierced pads or a worn out tenon cork or even a bad watertightness on the thumb , including the discovery of a crack underneath the keywork.

 


Three different types of overall checking.


The general checking

It is done on a well-maintained instrument at a workshop , provided the cleanliness and the outside aspect are not over degraded.
This step might reveal a few problems here and there regarding the level of either the mechanism or the protection.
Ideally, it has to be done every year or eventually every two years.

The repading

A regular compulsory stage for the instruments which have seldom been thoroughly checked over the past few years and which pads are dangerously coming to an end.Generally speaking, a very bad state of the tenon corks or an obvious dirtiness can also be noticed. We hence proceed to the dismantling and the full cleaning of the instrument along with the change of the whole leather and cork padding.

The repairing

The repairing :

  • It is essential and is a first step for the instruments which have not been checked for a long while. It will make them as good as new.
  • Oiling and polishing of the wood.
  • Removal of the whole fitting ( felts, corks, pads, springs and tenon corks) from the keywork and the joints.
  • Polishing and cleaning of the keywork , final restoration to its right length and fitting in its right place thanks to a blank set.
  • Resilvering of the keys that might have been ruined by some corrosions due to their old age or to sweaty hands.
  • Laying down of a new fitting with genuine materials ( leather, cork, lightweight either trimmed or tannered).
  • Final assembling with filling-up .
  • Your instrument will look brand new and you will find the long-gone comfort of playing back. !

 


Advice #1

The more regular the visits to the workshop, the less expensive the caring of your instrument !

Advice # 2

A check-up once a year or a general checking every two-years are much more predictable and sensible in an annual budget.
°Please do not use your stand as a storage place instrument. It is only meant for pausing or laying-down.

Advice # 3

Whenever you decide to stop working on your instrument for the day, it is advised to use the brush twice before systematically putting it back into its case .The instrument will age better and you will avoid a premature damage.

 


REPAIRING OF CLARINETTES AND WIND-INSTRUMENTS


brasure argent - Réparation clarinette

Repairing is a genuine work of imagination based on the experience of technique.

Everything is prone to break or burst. Each time it becomes matter of imagining the least invasive and the most efficient way to solve the problem. Beyond the missing splinter of wood or of a piece to be rewelded, the technician may sometimes have to take up a true challenge.

After a fall , you may have to rebuild the whole part of a body which includes a post for one or several keys:

  • How, According to the location, to pull out an axis which thread is broken inside a bowl ?
  • How to strengthen up a strengthened key ?

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.

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.
