This is a vintage Boosey & Hawkes Emperor clarinet pitched in the key of A. Manufactured in England in 1968, serial no. A455743 and has had very little use.

This instrument features a premium African grenadillo wood body. It is a highly sought-after model for orchestral and classical players looking for an affordable, quality "A" instrument.

Wood: Meticulously inspected inside and out, the dark grenadilla body shows absolutely no hairline cracks, pinning or structural damage. Machanics: Silver-plated keyword is exceptionally bright, clean, and mechanically sound with excellent spring tension.

Pads and corks: Fully serviced 4 years ago and carefully stored in a controlled environment. The pads are clean, intact and seated well. Tenor corks are all firm.

PLEASE NOTE: 1.No mouthpiece included. Ideal for advanced players who intend to pair this instrument with their own custom mouthpiece setup. 2. Case included for shipping protection only: includes a spare red plush-lined hard case. As the hinges are cracked, it is included purely to act as a secure, rigid protective shell during transit. PRICED FAIRLY to reflect the above.

This instrument will be double- boxed and packed with extreme care too guarantee completely safe transit.
