Thanks Rex - would love to see that clarinet sometime, maybe I can stop in next time I am in your area.

I have seen entries in the pre war Boosey and Hawkes ledger for a craftsman named J Smith - have spent time at the Horniman museum with the Boosey ledger books; all pre war instruments have an entry and the name of the craftsman that finished it. My 2 pairs of pre war 1010s were finished by Reynolds, Gregory, Paul and Mooney. I also looked up Thurstons pair which were completed by a J Smith....Those were the finest pair of 1010s I have played.

Good to know - now any pre war 1010s I find will be checked to see who completed them. So finding clarinets finished by Mr Smith will be many times harder to locate as it seems that he didn't make many...like finding a needle in a very large haystack.

So I assume that Jack Smith continued working at the Boosey factory into the 60s? Some have said that when Boosey reorganized after the war they let go of many of the skilled craftsman to hire low paid assembly line type workers - any thoughts on that?
