Choose Your Next Woodwind Instrument with Confidence
Buying a woodwind instrument can be a big investment, and we want to make sure that you get the best gear possible. That's why we created the Sweetwater 40-point Woodwind Inspection. Here’s how it works …
1. Complete climate control from start to finish
Total instrument acclimation in a temperature and humidity controlled environment.
2. Fit and finish inspection
Our professional technicians quality check every woodwind instrument from mouthpiece to bell
3. Playability check
Techs verify action and basic intonation and play test all notes before a final polish.
4. Preparing your new instrument for the journey home
We carefully repack and ship your instrument, verifying it is in ready-to-play condition.
