Peter Eaton clarinets have featured on hundreds of CDs, film and TV soundtracks since 1982. In the hands of the finest soloists on the world stage, as well as orchestral principals and session musicians, they are some of the most recorded clarinets in the world. Please read what these world-class musicians have to say about them.
This list does not include the large number of prominent players, including internationally renowned soloists and orchestral principals, who use Peter Eaton mouthpieces on other makes of clarinet.
Amongst younger musicians, in 2007, for the eighth consecutive year, the principal clarinettist of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain was a player of Peter Eaton clarinets and mouthpieces. Three players have held this position during the eight-year period, both models of clarinet, International and Elite, being represented. Two of these gifted young players also won the woodwind prize at the BBC Young Musician competition. Eleven NYO members during the last few years play Peter Eaton clarinets and mouthpieces.
Since the BBC Young Musician competition began in 1978, five clarinet players have gone on to play in the concerto final. Four of these wonderful musicians play Peter Eaton clarinets; Michael Collins, Emma Johnson, Sarah Williamson and Mark Simpson.
