Boosey & Hawkes, Imperial, E Flat Clarinet
This is a very fine condition Boosey and Hawkes Imperial, Eb Clarinet in Grenadilla wood.
The Silver plated key work is good throughout with only slight wear. There are no cracks or repairs to the wood, apart from the original barrel, which has 2 cracks which have been sealed in our workshop. However the instrument comes with a new Backun 42.5mm barrel, with cut away, so that Bb reeds can be used if so desired. This tunes this professional Eb admirably . This Eb has just been completely overhauled in fish skin pads in our workshop, and is sold with our full 1 year warranty. The serial nos. are 373356, which dates to the early 1970's. The mouthpiece is a Selmer C85 120, it plays comfortably with Vandoren No. 3 or 2.5 reeds. In summation this Eb plays with a mellow, broad sound, and with excellent intonation.
