RE: B&H 1010 vs. B&H 926

As an answer to Fred and Dave et. al. The Boosey and Hawkes 1010-- magnifricently restored by Dave Spiegelthal a few months back is marked on the upper joint and the bell with Symphony (on top) Imperial (in the middle) and Boosey & Hawkes (in small letters underneath). It is marked that way on both sections. The barrel is not marked but has the same smooth tenon rings and wood type as the rest of the horn. Both the upper and lower sections are marked with serial no. 150034. The mouthpiece is marked 1010 and the ligature and cap are marked B&H. The case is made of leather, marked Boosey & Hawkes Imperial inside, and manufactured by Lifton. I include all of the above just in case anyone out there might be interested.
The horn was impecably Spiegelthaled and is truly a joy to play around with. It wasn't easy given the condition of the horn when it was sent. Anyone out there needing work on a horn would be well served by Dave. Where else can you find an engineer who loves clarinets to restore your favored instrument. Dave also tuned up my Buffet Bass--another fine job.
However, my wife and our pet spaniel (Arthur) would be grateful if I would acquire even a modest amount of talent.
Happy Playing
Jack
