 What is a Boosey&Hawkes 2-20?
Author: DAVE

Any info on the above clarinet would be appreciated. I think the number on the horn was 2-20, but I am not sure; it could have been 20-2 for all I know. I have an opportunity to buy one and I curious if it is a pro horn and what an estimated value it might have in proper playing condition. I am assuming that it has a large bore and if so, will this have any adverse effect on tuning with smaller bore french instruments?

The B&H 2-20 is not a pro level horn. The 10-10 is.
It may have different tonal characteristics and it may have different tuning "peculiarities" but an A 440 on a large bore is the same pitch as the A 440 on a french bore.
