It was their advanced student model. Well appointed in terms of hardware,
pure cylindrical bore, large bore (15.1mm if I recall correctly). I restored
one after buying it at a pawn shop for around $125, not very good results.
Perhaps OK for jazz? Couldn't find a center to the tone. Worth maybe $400 in
excellent condition. Better to spend $600 on a used R-13 or $400 on a used LL
if you like cylindrical bores.

Does anyone know anything (or have any idea where I could find out) about a
Boosey and Hawkes model called the Edgeware? I have searched to try to
find out how old it is and can't come up with anything. Thanks!!
