 Which B & H Serials List Is Correct?
Author: 4accord

Have seen some posts having to do with the dates of Boosey & Hawkes clarinets based on their serial numbers. But I have found three different guides with great variation. So, which one do we trust?

I have a grenadilla Edgware, serial N (angled) then 164811. Here are the three lists and what they tell me:

http://www.horn-u-copia.net/serial/BooseyHawkeslist.html (1947)

http://www.uark.edu/ua/nc/ClarinetCollections/Boosey%20&%20Hawkes%20Clarinet%20Serial%20Numbers.htm (1976)

staging.horniman.ac.uk/media/_file/bandh_handlists_web.pdf (1958)


From the style of the case, I find 1958 to seem most plausible (blue cloth over wood, stitched leather handle and edging, and what I think are Cheney hasps). Thanks for any thoughts.
