Pair of Boosey & Hawkes 1010 Clarinets
A fine condition pair of B&H Symphony 1010 clarinets which are a commission sale for Clarinets Direct These Bb of this pair of 1010s has had much use, the A, less so. The instruments have used tan leather pads throughout in used condition, the older examples are "Gordon Beeson" , with some newer pads. The Bb, matching serial nos. 335945 [dating to the early 1970s], has no wear to the silver plate, it is pristine throughout. There is no damage to the wood, which is in excellent condition. The A, matching serial nos. 401269 [dating to late 1970s] has silver plate in good condition. Again there are no cracks or damage to the wood. All pieces are matching and original. Like the Bb, the A features the later design of Acton patent Vent for improved RH tuning. There are 2 barrels of 63.8mm and 64.5mm. The m'piece is an original B&H No.2. The case is an Orly, which is in good used condition.
