"In their day Boosey and Hawkes made all their professional and intermediate level instruments in both wood and hard rubber and they could be bought in either, the hard rubber instruments coming with nickel plated keywork and at a slightly higher price than the wood instruments".
Tony F., your post sparked some reminiscences:I remember playing 2nd to a very fine 85-year-old expat British clarinettist named George Paris here in Sydney in the mid '70s. George had a lovely pair of ebonite B&H clarinets with sleeved barrels. He'd ordered them from B&H and the conductor Hamilton Harty delivered them when he came out from London on tour in the mid '30s.
