"I have been playing on mouthpieces made by Ramon Wodkowski for over a year now. He has the unique expertise that only a fine player can have. His ability to produce consistently high quality mouthpieces and to match them to my requirements is quite remarkable. He can make mouthpieces to suit almost all tastes and his judgement and advice are invaluable."

“ I have had a number of mouthpieces worked on by Ramon over the last year, and have been impressed by his knowledge of the subject, quality of work, attention to detail and understanding of my particular requirements. His own excellent playing helps to back up  this expertise, and his charges are quite reasonable.  Altogether I feel there are few people able to offer the clarinettist such good service in this specialised area.”

"I  trust my mouthpieces only to someone who is a first-rate clarinetist. When you request a mouthpiece from a clarinetist who is passionate about his work, both in the orchestra and at the mouthpiece shop, you get the best results. When Ramon makes one for me, I know that a fine clarinetist has given it a proper test. Ramon Wodkowski's mouthpieces are terrific."

Garrick Zoeter

Professor of Clarinet, Shenandoah Conservatory, member of Antares, antares-music.com

"Ramon Wodkowski's clarinet mouthpiece is exceptional

in every way. It offers the professional clarinetist

optimal resistance, clarity and security in the high

register, and the ability to produce a beautiful,

seamless tone throughout. Furthermore the facings are

extremely reed friendly, which in this age of too

little time, is a life saver"

Peter Cornish

Freelance clarinettist.

"I knew that Ramon had a great reputation for his work with French and American mouthpieces but didn’t know if he could fix a German Zinner model that I once used with my Seggelke reform Boehm clarinets. He did fix it: in fact he transformed what was a reasonably good mouthpiece into one that is superb. He works with incredible skill and has a deep intuition that comes from years of close analysis of mouthpiece design. I really like this idea of transforming something that’s satisfactory into something that’s a joy to use. Next I’m going to ask him to direct his remarkable talents towards my bass clarinet mouthpiece."
