When beginning work on the body of the clarinet the centre hole or ‘pilot bore’ is cut first; the best way to do this is by a process called ‘gun-drilling’.   Our process enables us to cut superbly smooth and accurate bore.  None of our instruments are injection moulded and this important part of our production is what makes us different to the huge makers of clarinets that use faster and cheaper  (but this does not mean better)  ways of producing the bore.  Look down the bore of our clarinets, compare them to others... the bore is critical to the sound and tone and response....  our bores are visibly and audibly superior.
