Frequently Asked Questions
Schreiber has put significant effort into the bore design and manual reworking, resulting in remarkably consistent intonation, often exceeding what’s found in similarly priced competitors.
The extra-strong silver plating is designed for resilience; however, regular polishing is still recommended to maintain its shine and prevent tarnish.
Consistent humidity control is vital – using a case humidifier is highly recommended. Avoid extreme temperature changes and wipe the clarinet dry after playing.
