Hi Chris
earlier in this item you list the various B&H models.
Everyone seems to add 926 automatically to the Imperial, but I have one with and one without 926. Serial 42836 has stamped on bell & u/j : Imperial ( without 926) in a kind of arc, italic letters, the Musical Globe logo and Boosey & Hawkes in non italic capitals. It has had a fair amount of restoration, but plays very nicely. ( well I think so !)
Serial 292726 has the normal stamping on bell and u/j : Imperial inside a cartouche with a crown, Boosey & Hawkes London and also bears 926.
Apart from the obvious age differences, were there any quality spec differences between the 926 and the pre 926 Imperial? Would they be the same bore ?
Just going on how they blow I have always assumed they must be the approx bore of the Buffet RC ???
thanks in advance
Roy
