For sale here is a beautiful pair of Boosey and Hawkes Imperial 926 clarinets. They play really well as you would expect from these top of the range standard instruments. The Imperial was designed for professional use in marching bands, with the corresponding 1010 Symphony being for primarily orchestral playing. Of course these instruments can be used for all types of music making. The B flat has the serial number 236473 on the upper and lower joints which indicates a year of manufacture of 1963 or 1964. The A has the number 150836 which suggests it was made in 1958 or 1959.I have really enjoyed playing these instruments that are easy to blow and in my opinion have a lovely tone. I'm selling because I've had an opportunity to buy a pair of period Clarinets and need to find the purchase.These instruments have definitely seen life so they are not in mint condition, there are a few knocks and scratches as you would expect in an instrument of this age, but I have found no splits or cracks in the wood nor major mechanical problems, though a light service may be advisable.If you have any questions, please do just ask.These instruments are priced to sell.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
