I have had a professional and personal relationship with Michael Norsworthy for over 20 years. In addition to being an excellent clarinetist and saxophonist and all around good person he is an exceptional repair technician. His expertise in woodwind instrument design and acoustics puts him in a very elite group of technicians who know how to resolve problems of intonation and voicing. As a player, he is able to diagnose problems quickly, which will save you $ , time and aggravation. His shop boasts an impressive stock of clarinets, bass clarinets and saxophones and if you go there you will be greeted by his delightful Shar-Pei, Herbie! If you are looking for a woodwind shop that has it all, New York City Woodwinds is it!

New York City Woodwinds is the best shop on the east coast for all of your woodwind needs.

Michael is a consummate professional with repair skills of the highest caliber. Paired with his tireless work ethic, he will ensure your instruments are functioning at their best. I have sent clarinets to him that were unplayable, and they were returned to me like a brand new instrument. Additionally, NYC Winds is available for professional instrument selection and sales. They select and sell only the best instruments.

Stop by NYC Woodwinds! You won’t be disappointed.

I recently bought a bass clarinet from NYC Woodwinds and have had my clarinets, Eb clarinet and basset horn repaired, adjusted and/or overhauled there. It is reassuring to know that Michael is not only an excellent technician, but also a skilled and talented musician who fully understands the instruments he works on and sells from years of performance and teaching experience.

If that's not enough, Industry City is a great and convenient destination in and of itself (just one block from the subway and adjacent to dozens of Citibike docks). Tons of shops, restaurants, breweries, galleries for before or after to top off your woodwind-ing experience.
