What clients say about Park Woodwind Services:
“Tony Park worked on my older pair of Seggelke clarinets. His work was nothing short of extraordinary. Tony brought both instruments back to like-new condition, with impeccable attention to detail, prevision, and craftsmanship.
What sets Tony apart is that he approaches repair work as an artist, not just a technician. The instruments play beautifully, seal perfectly, and respond with a level of consistency and refinement that reminds me why I fell in love with them in the first place. His workmanship is truly at the highest professional level, and I recommend him without reservation to any serious woodwind player seeking exceptional repair and restoration work.”
— Dr. Richard FariaProfessor of Clarinet, Ithaca College
“Tony’s clarinet repair work is simply outstanding. His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to his clients are second to none. Even in emergency situations, he always goes out of his way to find the time to help, demonstrating a level of professionalism that is truly exceptional.
For the past several years, Tony has serviced my Tosca B-flat and R13 A clarinets. Not only are the repairs completed quickly and meticulously, but each time the instruments come back feelings noticeably more responsive, refined, and easier to play. His understanding of the instrument as both a master technician and an experienced clarinetist allows him to bring out the very best in every clarinet he works on.
Many of my students have also benefited greatly from Tony’s expertise. His knowledge, experience, and genuine care for musicians make him someone I trust and recommend without hesitation.”

“Tony did a wonderful job tracking down and resolving a stubborn acoustic issue on my Schwenk & Seggelke clarinet. I am incredibly particular about who works on my instrument— there are very few people I would trust to take wood off, but Tony has my full confidence. He is a true craftsman. He is also a great resource for supplies, consistently offering fair pricing and excellent support for everything from mouthpieces and reeds to the various accessories I need.”
— Jordan Selburn
“Tony has serviced my clarinets on numerous occasions, and his craftsmanship is truly exceptional. His precise re-tuning and pad adjustments / replacements have immensely improved my playing experience. Furthermore, he takes great care in packaging and humidifying the instruments so they arrive safely after shipping. The outstanding quality of his work is the reason I return to him year after year. I highly recommend Tony to any clarinetist looking for elite care.

“As a professional clarinet soloist, recording artist, and frequent international traveler/ performer, I need a technician I can trust completely, and in Tony Park of Park Woodwind Services, I have found exactly that.
Tony has done extensive work on my bass clarinet (got it into great performing/ recording shape), and my clarinet, and in every instance the results have been exceptional. I greatly appreciate his combination of qualities: he brings a highly trained eye and ear to the bench, diagnosing not just what is visibly wrong but what is subtly off in the feel and response of an instrument. His knowledge runs deep, and his genuine curiosity abut the craft means he never stops refining his approach.
Equally important to me is how he has worked with me in the shop. Tony listened carefully to my concerns — under my fingers, how I wanted the instruments to respond — and took all of it seriously. At the same time, he was never shy about offering his own considered advice, and his recommendations always proved to be helpful. It is a balance that is good to find: a technician who respects the player’s perspective while still bringing real expertise to the conversation.
For any serious woodwind player, I recommend Tony Park without reservation.”

“Tony did a fantastic job setting up my Buffet Greenline R13, which had never been set up properly. It was just so much easier to play and a real joy. He is really goood and worth sending your instrument to. Don’t look anywhere else for a clarinet expert.”
— Roberta Hobbs
“Tony has done a great job maintaining my Seggelke 1000+ clarinets for the past two years. It is a wonderful asset to have a technician in New York who has visited Seggelke Klarinetten to study their method of repair. My clarinets always play as good or better than new when I leave Park Woodwind Services!”
