I couldn't be happier with my new set of clarinets. Heather and Alcides are fantastic musicians, so they pick only the top inventory to sell. This makes the whole experience very easy and stress-free. If you are looking for a new instrument(s), they will not disappoint!

RMS provided exactly the instrument selection process I was looking for. They understand the process from the point of view of the performer and can offer what many dealers cannot. The instruments were hand-selected and had comprehensive adjustments so I could make the best decision possible. I doubt you will find a better selection service anywhere!

My clarinet looks and plays better than new! This is the best overhaul I've ever had, and I can't express in words how thankful I am. Seriously, you upgraded EVERYTHING. The mechanism is SILENT. There's no excess key play AT ALL. The seal is air tight, but somehow it still feels like my old clarinet. Expect more business from me in the future. I love being able to have such professional work done at a reasonable price and in a timely manner. You have a client for life!

I want to extend my sincere thanks to you and the entire team for the exceptional work on my Tosca clarinet. It looks absolutely stunning—like new—and plays better than any instrument I've ever handled. I had no idea a clarinet could feel this refined and responsive. Your craftsmanship is truly outstanding, and I deeply appreciate the care and expertise you put into your work. I'll be sure to recommend your services to my colleagues.

My clarinet was in desperate need of an overhaul, and they blew my expectations out of the water! My clarinet looks and feels practically brand new. The craftsmanship on the cleaning, pad and tenon replacements, as well as sharpening the key action and ensuring proper adjustments, has given my clarinet new life. Working with the folks at RMS was an easy and amazing experience, and I'm grateful for their attention to care and detail!

I got my clarinet today and I must say, as soon as I opened the case I was amazed at how beautiful it looked. The only thing more beautiful was the quality of the work. The response of the instrument is flawless as well as the ease in which it now plays. I could not ask for the instrument to feel any better under my fingers. I can't wait to unleash it at rehearsal tomorrow evening! Thank you for your kindness, professionalism and extraordinary work. You now have a customer for life

I just want to take a moment and say wow! The clarinet overhauls were simply amazing. I really appreciate the time your team spent on the details. I love the fluid action of the key work and intonation improvements. I am not sure if you know what I mean when I say that these instruments play better than when I had them Brannenized, but they do. Thank you! I will be a returning customer and I will help spread the word about your business!
