I've had several B & H clarinets, and currently I play one of the last Emperors made. It's a superb instrument, with a good resonant tone throughout the range. I use it for classical work, but I use a Selmer for jazz. The Emperor sounded a bit thin and choked when I bought it secondhand, but I experimented with mouthpieces and replaced the original Selmer HS* with a Vandoren B45, which fixed the problem. They also play well with a Yamaha 4c. The best of the Booseys was the Imperial, then the Emperor, then the Regent and Edgware, but I'm not sure in what order of quality of the last 2. My other B & H's were both Edgwares.
