Re: Boosey & Hawkes Symphony 1010

I had a pair of late, Acton vented 1010s from new, which were in front line service from my school years until I bought a pair of their direct descendents, Peter Eaton Elites, a few years back. I opted to sell the A clarinet through a dealer who sent it to a customer in Australia, and have regretted it ever since - partly for sentimental reasons, but also because it was a great instrument. I'd endorse the comments about ease of altissimo playing. I've been playing the Ireland Fantasy Sonata recently, and the 1010 seems to make for a more relaxed approach to those high passages - and somewhat authentic as its dedicatee, Frederick Thurston was a 1010 player.
