Subj: [kl] An old clarinet?
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 1998 18:46:05 -0500

Although learning to play, and I stress learning, on a modern Boosey and
Hawkes 926, I have acquired an old style clarinet as well. It has much
fewer side keys and the holes feel wider spaced. It is obviously older as
the serial no on all parts is 2206, wheras my current one is in 6 figures.

So what have I got and roughly how old is it?
Should I insure it? It is in quite good condition, the corks have been
redone at some stage. I only paid £40 for it

Many thanks

Gordon Gillan
