Edward Pillinger studied clarinet at the Royal Academy of Music in London, UK. He subsequently pursued a distinguished international career as soloist and chamber music player, performing with ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta, and making numerous recordings for the BBC. He also taught for many years at the Guildhall School of Music. His interest in mouthpiece making gradually assumed a more important role and led him to undertake several years of doctoral research.
