Hello,
Can anyone please tell me anything about the B&H Oxford clarinet and where it stands in the B&H line-up?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Petrina.

I have only ever seen one clarinet badged as an Oxford, but in general it was a marketing thing and they issued the Regents, Edgwares and Emperors under these type names. I suspect it is approx equivalent to the Edgware, i.e. in between the student and intermediate ranges.

If it has a wooden body and nickel plated keywork, it's the same basic instrument as an Edgware.

The equivalent model of an Edgware today will be a Buffet E12 or Yamaha 455.

The opinions I express are my own.

I sold one some years ago. It was exactly the same as an Edgware. Quite a good instrument, played and tuned well.
