Re: Serial numbers Boosey and Hawkes

Would've been better if it had a plastic top joint and barrel and wooden lower joint and bell.

I don't think clarinets are offered with plastic top joints like oboes and cors anglais are. B&H "77" clarinets had an ebonite barrel and bell, but wooden joints with Mazak keys.

I've even seen a 1984 Buffet R13 which had a top joint transplant done by B&H as it carried the B&H style serial numbers stamped above the speaker tube instead of by the C#/G# tonehole.
