Masterful repair, maintenance and restoration of clarinets and saxophones. A wide inventory of well set up, professional instruments to audition and purchase, a rarity in New York. Curated supplies and accessories, and expert advice. I have my return trip booked.

Michael’s knowledge and skill are impressive, a true craftsman. More importantly, he’s also a kind, friendly, trustworthy human. This is the kind of shop that feels good to be in; to play great instruments and accessories, to watch a master work his magic, or to simply sit back and hang out with Herbie the shop dog.

Michael Norsworthy knows the clarinet from end to end, inside and out. I trust him with all my instruments and his honest and careful work always reveals the full potential of the instrument. He also sells some of the best instruments made today, all of which are set up beautifully.
