Re: Finding out which B & H model of clarinet you have

That is a very early post-war instrument, almost certainly made in 1946.
Without a picture it's hard to say what model it is as B&H were introducing several new models at that time, all of which were acoustically based on what would become known as the Imperial or 926.
It could possibly be a prototype Imperial as these were produced initially with a bell with a metal ring around the large end, not the grooved wood end of regular production.
Or it could be an early Edgeware, Emperor or even Regent.
Are the keys Silver or nickle plated ?
Are they forged nickle silver or cast Mazac ?
What style of B&H logo does it have (again a picture would help)
