Is "Brannenizing" service necessary or desirable on a new Buffet R13? Would the normal adjustments done by IMS or BW&WW, or by brick and morter stores, suffice? Is this pad replacement and teflon work valuable? How bad could a brand new instrument be??? I'm just a confused parent...please advise!

Brannenizing is really top notch. It is up to you to determine if the cost justifies it. By the way, an R-13 is a professional model. If you child is a beginner it really is a waste of money to buy one. In addition under no circumstances should an R-13 be used for marching band. Use a cheap plastic clarinet for marching.

Could any one give me the contact address for Brannenising please. I am in the UK and cannot find any address details other than Evanston, Ilinois. Many thanks.

it seems the choice is to do it right away or to do it when the clarinet may be ready for an overhaul, etc.
I fail to see how the Brannen service can work on regulation, where the clarinet moves from IMS to Brannen & then out to the customer for the first time. how would anybody know that the regulation that works for somebody else, will work for them. of course, regulation is only a part of the brannen service.
i've had it done where you drop off & pickup & then play it in their store. makes for easy adjustments. the brannen's pads are excellent.
