Vintage Hawkes&Son Excelsior Sonorous Class A LP Boehm Clarinet
$975
This is a rare, well-preserved late 1920's / early 30's vintage "Excelsior Sonorous Class" model A LP Boehm system clarinet, by Hawkes&Son of London. It has a grenadilla wood body, nickel alloy keys, and a bore of .575". It is in near mint vintage condition, with sharp tenons and chimneys - no cracks or repairs. It has been disassembled, swedged and countersunk as needed (to tighten mechanism), bore oiled, body, posts and keys buffed, Pisoni tan kid pads installed, new key and tenon corks, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. It has a warm, full tone and good intonation. I am very pleased with this instrument! Comes with the original case in solid condition.
