Boosey And Hawkes 1010 Clarinet Serial Numbers

by

Boosey and hawkes special model wood clarinet approx. ERA 1945 SERIAL NUMBER 35,XXX. My tech play tested this and adjusted it, it has used pads that have life in them. I've owned a Boosey & Hawkes Edgware wooden clarinet for about 25 years now. I know this is not a sax link but i found out that the emperor tenor sax i bought on line is a boosey and hawkes. It has a serial number of 18101. Am i reading the serial number link above correctly when it appears that this is around a 1910 horn? And it seems to.

Boosey & Hawkes Boosey & Co. Was established by Thomas Boosey in 1816. They began selling woodwind instruments in 1851. The first flutes were made in 1856 after agreeing to build a flute designed by the Pratten Co. The first 'reed' instruments were made in 1879.

Boosey and hawkes 1010

I very recently became the owner of a Boosey & Hawkes Symphony Imperial 1010 Bb clarinet. Not a venerated pre-WWII but it does lack the somewhat debated Acton vent, and its 150xxx serial probably dates it to around 1958. Cared for and immediately playable out of its very, very stinky case, but totally filthy and smelly. Gross but with no other flaws. So a sweet almond oil soak, strip down, clean, oil and polish has improved things immensely. Things were really crusty in the register vent and many toneholes The pads are 'okay' but I'm guessing some stuffiness and resistance is their fault. Corks and regulation all seem in goodish order.

However a visit to my tech is definitely due. I got lucky in that it included the original BM2 1010 bore mouthpiece and that it plays rather nicely. Some say bore size match is required on these (and all) horns. Runner's world complete book of running.

My Vandoren 5RV sounded not too different on it honestly. 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? Very nice - I would love to pick up one of these if I could ever excuse the cost, here they are still priced high.

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. 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. Mine came with a Selmer mth pce and a B+H 1010 and I bought a Vandoren 5JB to play around with.
