NEW SERIES - Maintaining Music: Episode 2 - Clarinet (Mark van de Wiel & Graham de Vere White)

Mark van de Wiel, the Philharmonia's Joint Principal Clarinet, brings his instrument to Graham de Vere White at Prozone Music. At the workshop, they look back at their 40 year relationship whilst Graham expertly works on the clarinet's maintenance. Mark is also joined by Lyndon Chapman from Buffet Wind Instruments to talk about the 50 years with his clarinet, and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Our series, Maintaining Music highlights the relationships between Philharmonia musicians and the craftspeople who build and maintain their instruments.

As members of a world-class orchestra performing across the globe, Philharmonia musicians are no stranger to a faulty instrument. Talented and trusted craftspeople ensure that our players feel confident and comfortable with their valuable instruments.

Through this series we discover how human connections are key to a customised, working instrument.
