Clarinetguy, further to Peter's info I believe that just post war quite a few players were using the B&H Imperial 926, certainly know that in the Halle there were 2 players using them ( I bought one pair fron the widow of one player in late 50's and used them for some years). The Halle principal at that time didn't even play boehm system but used Clinton-Boehm, a hybrid.
926s were played by Thurston's co-principal in the BBC SO and in Bournemouth, Welsh and Scottish orchestras. Walton used Reform Boehm and McCaw I think Buffet and Buffet certainly used in BBC Midland at one time (a colleague later bought them). Leblanc and Selmer weren't very common in classic field and Yamaha even less so although I knew a few players who did use each of these makes.
Many 1010s used in this period were Pre-War models, considered at time to be much superior to post war models. Thea King used prewar 1010s for many years but later switched to Buffet. IMO she did sound better on her 1010s.
Brymer used pre-war B&H London/Paris instruments until early 70's when he bought new 1010s. His famous recoding of Mozart with Beecham was done on those pre-war instruments.
So there was a pretty wide mix of instruments used at that time including those mentioned by Peter. Its only in more recent time that Buffet has become a significant force here.
Many wide-bore players have switched to Eatons but there are still some faithful to their actual 1010s (e.g. Tony Lamb at ENO).
