“My experience with RMS has been the most seamless and enjoyable instrument purchase I have ever made. Their instruments were all beautifully set up, which made choosing an instrument far easier! I cannot recommend them enough!”

“I’m absolutely in love with my new instrument. Alcides’ work truly makes a huge difference in how the instrument plays- in fact, I sometimes forget that I’m paying a bass clarinet. More importantly, my new instrument was selected by a performer: someone who understands the concerns and needs of other performers. I look forward to working with RMS again!”

“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!”

“I purchased a gem Buffet R13 Prestige from RMS and couldn't be more happy with it. Alcides' key work is spectacular (and I'm picky) and the overall shopping experience was second to none. I can't recommend strongly enough that RMS needs to be your go-to for excellent professional instruments!”

“My new RC Prestige E-flat clarinet is everything I could have hoped for and so much more! I could not have asked for a better instrument or for better people to work with than Heather and Alcides. The quality of instruments and the friendly, professional service I received through RMS is truly at the highest level available. I will be recommending you to everybody I work with!”

“I am so excited about the new E-flat! You made the whole process so easy, yet difficult because both instruments you sent were so great. Thank you so much for your and Alcides’ help!”

“I received my clarinets! First, I have to say that they look and feel like a dream! I can’t tell how happy I am. You now have a customer for life and without a doubt I will spread the word to every clarinet player I know. Thanks Heather and Alcides!”

“I received my clarinet today, and I must say that 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.”

“Thank you for such fine instruments! I am thoroughly enjoying breaking them in. They are marvelous!”

“Heather made the process of finding new clarinets so easy! The instruments she picks out are fantastic and she was also super helpful and easy to work with. Thanks again!”

“Heather and Alcides have one of the best clarinet selection services I’ve ever encountered. Heather understands the importance of choosing an instrument that complements and enhances one’s musical voice. The clarinets she selected for me were so on point with what I was looking for that I’m surprised I was able to choose one at all! I look forward to many years of music making with this instrument!”

“Stunning. I’ve definitely fallen in love with my new Tosca, which has only ever been a dream until today. Thank you Heather and Alcides at Rodriguez Musical Services for making this process easy and for upgrading the instrument.”

“You aren't going to find a better clarinet shop, period. More than personalized service, more than the highest quality clarinet. If you are even semi-serious about playing clarinet, you simply need to make the journey.”

“I just finished a practice session, and my clarinet is better than ever! It looks like NEW, even where my fingers had worn away the finish. My arthritic fingers are also thankful for not having to work as hard. Thank you so much! You guys are the best!”

“I recommend RMS to any clarinet player looking for a great instrument. Heather listened to what I needed from a clarinet and could not have done a better job in finding it. The whole process was effortless from beginning to end. The clarinets had an artist-level overhaul and played beautifully out of the box. I could tell that they were excellent instruments and that Alcides's work is impeccable. Heather is a dream to work with and I will be using RMS for future purchases. Thanks!!”

“Heather and Alcides have the best clarinet selections in the area. I was looking for a Bb instrument, and I tried some R13s, Traditional and Festivals. They all play so well I couldn't believe it. They definitely commit to maintaining their inventory in the best playing conditions. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you are looking for a clarinet. It's was for sure the most friendly and efficient clarinet purchased. They are really great!”

“Rodriguez Musical Services is a terrific selection service! I have tried clarinets in many different venues, but never before have I encountered such a variety of high quality Buffet models all in one place! Heather and Alcides were both so helpful and patient through the whole process. As a result, I am very happy with my new set of Tradition clarinets! I cannot recommend RMS enough!”

“My clarinet looks and plays like new! It’s like the first day I got it (back in 1999!) Alcides did an amazing job. This is as good as any overhaul I’ve ever had, and I can’t express in words how thankful I am. Seriously, Alcides: 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. You have a client for life!”

“The service from Rodriguez Musical Services was excellent! The choice of instruments was superb, and I was able to easily select two beautiful RC Prestige clarinets. I can recommend them wholeheartedly and know that you'll find your clarinet “voice” with them!”

“I'm a former Air Force musician who's too busy in my new career to do the necessary legwork to find a quality instrument. Heather and Alcides really know their stuff. They made the decision process for my new Bass Cl an easy one... I couldn't be happier! Will definitely contact them in the future for a new Bb and A!”

“I’m loving my new R13 clarinet! Thank you!”

“Heather and Alcides 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 I contacted could not. Heather is an excellent communicator and answered many questions I had along the way. The instruments were hand-selected and Alcides did comprehensive adjustments on all of the instruments I tried so I could make the best decision possible. I doubt you will find a better selection service and hospitality anywhere in the country. I am one happy customer!”

“Rodriguez Musical's work is beyond compare. They are a joy to work with and the quality of their work is among the best, if not the best in the world!”

“I just want to let you know that the clarinet is wonderful and feels (and looks) like a brand new instrument! You and Alcides have been very kind, professional, and your work is terrific. Thank you again for doing this for me!”

“Heather and Alcides are wonderful to work with! If you are looking for the best quality clarinet from genuinely nice people, RMS is a great choice. I purchased an RC Prestige Bb clarinet from them about 5 months ago, and I love it more and more each day. While shopping around for a clarinet can be very stressful, Heather is very knowledgable and works with you to help you find the perfect horn.”

“RMS is the gold standard for selecting a new instrument. Whether you’re a student, professional, or teacher, they will find you an instrument that fits your voice.”

“I’ve had my new R-13 for several days now, and I’m thoroughly pleased with it! I don’t believe that I have ever played an instrument that has had this level of evenness and intonation throughout every register- nor have I come across an instrument that has the same special resonance as this one!”

“The bass came yesterday afternoon, and I love it! The core sound is so rich, and the intonation is awesome! It plays so smooth too. It's a much better horn than what I've been playing on, and I liked that one!”

“All of the instruments that I tried played with terrific overall sound, tonal consistency, intonation, and mechanical response. Any smart instrumentalist will hope that their buying choice will be made difficult by the consistency of excellence of the instruments they try, and this was certainly my experience at RMS. Here I am, a year since I made my trip to Atlanta, and I am still amazed every time I play the clarinets I purchased from RMS. They are so terrific that I feel unworthy of playing them! I cannot thank Heather and Alcides enough for treating this major experience of mine with such care.”
