My daughter has a Boosey & Hawkes Wooden Clarinet. Somehow the Upper B-E
post on the Lower Joint broke off inside the wooden barrel. We are
attempting to locate this post. None of the music stores in this are
seem to any idea where to locate one. If you Can assist we would be
greatly appreciative. The complete information is:

Boosey & Hawkes
Model THE EDGWARE on the Upper joint
Serial Number 84266 on upper & Lower joint
Model 2-20 on the Bell
The keys are nickel plated

We need the Upper B-E Post on Lower Joint

The best guess we have is the clarinet is from early to mid 60’s. My
Technicians do not believe the Bell is original. We bought the
instrument at a pawn shop several years (4+) had it refurbished. When it
is playing well, it is part of the family. We would appreciate it if you
would pass on any additional information or possible leads as to where
we might be able to get the post.

Thanks
