Re: Boosey & Hawkes model 2000

"Since I cannot test the instrument personally I am a bit worried with its tuning. As far as I know Boosey and Hawkes can be problematic in this area."

I'm not familiar with the 2000, but I have a pair of 926's and a 1010. I've found that the tuning of these is very much influenced by the choice of mouthpiece. My 926's tune fairly well using the original B&H 926 mouthpiece with the number 2 lay, tune less well with a Vandoren B45 or M30 and tune even better with a Clarke Fobes Sanfrancisco CF+.

Likewise, the 1010 needs a mouthpiece suited to the bore of the instrument. Mine tunes well with the B&H 1010 mouthpiece but rather better with a mouthpiece by Ed Pillinger.

Could be a very good buy.
