Oliver Clarkson - Woodwind Technician

Oliver completed a fantastic job on my pair of Buffet R13 clarinets. They play beautifully now. Would definitely recommend his work. I’m hoping he can turn my Conn Crossbar Baritone saxophone into a great playing horn even though it’s had a very hard life with numerous dents and knocks. I’m sure this will be no problem for him !

A really professional and friendly service. I took my daughter's saxophone in for servicing and was offered a same day turnaround. When I said it was ok to take a few days Olly then delivered it to my house at no extra charge. Not only that he took a look at a clarinet for free.The standard of the service is superb and the sax is playing very well. I'll be back later in the summer for some more work on the clarinet. Highly recommended,

Lovely friendly service from Ollie who had a look at my flute and made it playable after I’d messed around trying to make adjustments myself. He also very kindly lend me a flute head joint to try out - thanks so much Ollie!

I would just like to send you a message to say thank you for such a beautiful instrument.I've been learning clarinet for about two years now with the local band in Tenbury (Tenbury Town Band) - for the past year it has been through virtual lessons rather than actually meeting up - I'm really hoping the band can get back together soon, up till now I've been borrowing one of the bands Buffet clarinets and been using my own Yamaha 5C mouthpiece.I decided to get my own and looked at Yamaha's as I already have a Yamaha guitar and also a Yamaha mouthpiece.This 26ii clarinet is amazing. It's so much lighter and far easier to hit the high notes than the Buffet, it also sounds so much more better. It also looks really well looked after.Thank you once again for selling me such a beautiful instrument and your description was so accurate.

Ollie has serviced a couple of my instruments and got to the bottom of some deep-rooted issues that needed tackling. He plays himself, therefore having a sound knowledge of what's right and wrong with the mechanics and action of the instruments. I highly rate his expertise and recommend him.

Oliver fixed a key on my buffet RC clarinet and did a huge service and pad replacement too. Played with an orchestra today and it played really nicely. Oliver is a lovely human and an excellent woodwind repair person. Can't recommend enough.

I came across Ollie’s work when I bought a tenor from him – it was so well set-up that I asked him who’d done it and when he said he had, I asked if he could set up my other instruments.So recently I had him set up ‘Miyagi’ - my battered old Yam 23 alto - and it came back great. Very playable. I will be using Ollie in future, and can recommend him.

I had taken my flute to a different place for an overhaul, but it came back with more problems than it had before. I then took it to Oly who was able to identify and fix the issues right away and got my flute working again in no time at all. He was super helpful, and showed me a few maintenance tips as well. Highly recommended!

I was recommended Oliver and I am very glad that I was. Oliver has doneexcellent repair work on my vintage Pennsylvania Special Tenor sax. Hereally cares on the outcome of his repair work, and explains what had tobe done to get your instrument back into working order. I have Baritonesax that needs looking at and I will be taking it to Oliver. I canwithout any hesitation recommend Oliver for your instrument care.

Oly has fixed my clarinet and my sax and did an excellent job of both. After some disappointing experiences trying to get them fixed elsewhere i was happy with the job oly did and they are now playing like a dream!
