  • Undercuts support core and richness and increase ventilation.
  • Perfecting the opening angle of each key for flawless intonation.
  • Pads that have an extremely long live span and will never change due to playing.
  • QRP pads act as full size resonators.
  • Carefully selected pad combination of QRP and CFS pads for each model support the targeted sound idea.
  • The keys are die-forged and solid and will keep the setup in place.
  • Ergonomics and aesthetics are a priority.
  • The keys are hand-fitted and de-burred for a snug, smooth fit.
  • An abundance of adjustment screws will help any tech to make corrections to the setup if needed — if so — far down the road.

  • Innovative, noiseless foam adjustment pieces will keep their form and contribute to the long lasting setup.
  • Even spring pressure provide crisp response and fluid action.
  • Particularly long spring cradles where possible distribute force evenly.
  • Specially constructed tenon corks serve you extra long with a snug fit. etc, etc...


A word from the Manufacturer:

Moe clarinets deserve the name Custom. Every piece of wood is different, Every player is different. Why would one mass-produce standardized clarinets when you can take wood and player into consideration and build a unique clarinet from a certain blank and set it up for the individual player?

It is a business choice to mass-produce clarinets, not an artistic one. Building Moe Custom Clarinets is a purely artistic decision. Moe Custom Clarinet's goal is to provide the right instrument for the player.
