🎅🎅🎅 Winter Sale now on! 🎅🎅🎅

We have savings on both bass and b-flat clarinets, including a really special deal on our BC3 bass. Due to manufacturing issues we aren't able to produce any more BC3 basses and so this one is the last one we will ever have in stock (in hard rubber form)!

Head over to our website to check out these instruments, and do get in touch if you would like to try one of our instruments out either in London or South Wales.

The new SM-3W is the second and most recent addition to the excellent SM-W collection. We are very proud of our SM-W but this new SM-3W is equally good, if not slightly better. It is even more robust than the SM-W having even more anchored posts and has extremely accurate and stable tuning plus a very even sound over all registers. The altissimo is very easy to emit and the lowest register has a richness even greater than the SM-W. It comes with standard custom fat barrels and bells so whilst a little more expensive than the earlier version it works out cheaper if you take the barrel and bell into consideration.

At the price point we have set it rivals even the most expensive well known brand clarinets. There is nothing to lose and all to gain as we offer a no quibble trial of one week to see if we are in fact correct in our claims that this clarinet is as good (if not better!) than a clarinet at least twice the price.

Set up and fine tuned by myself, Leslie Craven, a former pro player with London Orchestras and a recording artist in my own right I challenge any player to find a better set up, in tune and robust pro quality clarinet for this price.

SM3-W available to purchase from our website for £1,575.

Available to play test in East London or Monmouth South Wales.

If you would like any additional information, or to book a play test please contact Les at [email protected].

We spend a long time achieving quality and playability for our customers. This work on the instruments cannot be reflected in the price as many hours go into perfecting them and testing before sending them to a customer. Give Craven Sonoro clarinets developed by a top pro player who formerly played with all the major London orchestras for Film and TV sessions (The Wicker Man, Howards End, Mickey Blue Eyes etc) a try - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.You get a free week's trial and return is accepted if the customer pays postage. Many delighted customers - check our site for some of our sincere, genuine reviews.

Just 3 basses left at the 2024 New Year sale price before we get more stock at the normal price. These basses are a real bargain so do seriously think about the massive savings and the excellent value these clarinets offer.
