Thanks for posting firebladejedi, the B&H clarinets seem to get a little less love than they deserve, I think.UK players seems more keen on them due to the marvellous reputation for quality they had.
Mine came with a Selmer mth pce and a B+H 1010 and I bought a Vandoren 5JB to play around with.I haven't played for the main part of 25 years and its starting to come back to me. I recently had it re padded and re corked and it makes a nice tone.I have been playing with various mouth pieces and reeds today to see what I like best. But comparable with any other pro level clarinet I guess.I have a 35 year old wooden Edgeware which is the intermediate level, and I like it.
Very nice - I would love to pick up one of these if I could ever excuse the cost, here they are still priced high. An extremely fine pair of London & Paris, Boosey & Hawkes, pre-war 1010 clarinets. The first part represents the model number (in this case 928 which is a cornet) and the second part the consecutive serial number which you can look up in this list taken from a document. Tuning was slightly adversely effected but not direly.I play modern Leblanc and Yamaha Eb and Bb so the spread, open smooth tone of this 1010 is very different.All other clarinets I've owned/played have had a more narrow core, focussed tone.I'm curious to know if this is the big bore sound or just the so-called British clarinet sound that Boosey was famous for?Any 1010 or other B&H players here?V. Serial numbers are in the format 928-817061.
My Vandoren 5RV sounded not too different on it honestly.
