About HWC

Howard Woodwind Company is a full service single reed workshop and studio located in scenic Glastonbury, Connecticut. Conveniently situated halfway between Boston and New York City, we are a veteran-owned small business that caters to all clarinetists, from the most elite professionals to the youngest developing musicians. As an authorized dealer for Buffet Crampon, we carry a variety of instruments that have been carefully selected at the Buffet Crampon North American headquarters. HWC's mission to facilitate beautiful music making is accomplished in two ways. First,  we pledge an uncompromising commitment to artistry and mechanics in the workshop; and second, we provide discriminating consultation services that are second to none in the industry.
