An important reminder from our technician - clarinettists, keep your tone holes clean! 🧹

Tone holes become occluded over time, affecting tuning, sound quality and overall playability.

Here is a before-service look at some throat note tone holes. The keys need to be carefully removed before cleaning. Ask your technician how to do this properly before attempting yourself! 🪛

Take a look at these reinforced baritone saxophone keys!

These are a feature on Eastman Winds baritones designed to help reduce movement on the lower bell keys, which infamously regularly and easily go out of alignment on saxophones. 🔧
