Boosey and Hawkes 

Grenadilla Edgware Clarinet in Bb 

Professionally Refurbished

# 297718 - 1967

This clarinet is in remarkable condition in view of its age, and has been extensively refurbished, with new tenon corks and most buffers. The pads are also brand new; top quality Pisoni tan leather pads, noted for their durability. The keywork is excellent: the wood flawless, with a tight, even grain, typical of Boosey and Hawkes at this time. A very solid mechanism with good springs, and the instrument plays extremely well. 

Refurbishment also entails cleaning and oiling the Grenadilla wood body: similarly, all the key work has been cleaned and the mechanism oiled. The key work is excellent. To complete the process, the clarinet comes in a brand new lightweight case, with a brand new Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, with original ligature and cap.  Also provided is a pull through to dry the bore of the clarinet after playing.

As with all my instruments, this one is designed to play, and is provided with such refurbishment to avoid any further expense in getting it to this condition. This one plays perfectly top to bottom, and is an ideal instrument for those wishing to upgrade to a quality wooden clarinet. The instrument displays the usual characteristics of this model, but is particular exceptional, with a round sound, even from top to bottom.
