For sale here is a lovely used Boosey and Hawkes 1010 Symphony clarinet. This was the top of the range instrument built by B&H, this particular instrument has the famous action vent mechanism (see photos). The serial numbers match on the joints and are 264753 which would suggest a year of manufacture of 1965. Please bear the age of the instrument in mind when considering buying. Having said that, it is in lovely condition, the keywork shines and it performs well throughout the range - including the extreme high and low notes, which I can get out easily, and without being a virtuoso by any means. I bought this instrument a few months ago and I have had it serviced since, so it is in great playing condition. I bought a pair of 1010s soon after, so this one is surplus to requirements really. It deserves to be played and enjoyed, hence the need to sell, as well as my running out of room. There is a slight wobble on the top joint lower tenon fit, but this does not affect the playability, I'm just mentioning it for complete disclosure!The serial numbers match on the joints and would suggest that it is a later model but I can't be certain of this. This is a professional standard instrument and is priced to sell. I am open to sensible offers.I've got a large collection of clarinets and need to sell some to make space. This clarinet also deserves to be played more. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. Postage is £20 for U.K. delivery by Royal Mail, for other destinations please message me.
