About This Model

The Boosey & Hawkes Emperor is a professional-grade Bb clarinet produced in Britain during the mid-twentieth century, representing the upper tier of the renowned Boosey & Hawkes woodwind range. Instruments from this era were crafted to exacting standards for conservatoire and orchestral players, and the Emperor name specifically denoted a step up in quality of materials, keywork, and tonal refinement. A circa-1959 example sits firmly in what many players regard as the golden period of British clarinet making, before mass-market production methods became widespread. These instruments are well regarded among players seeking a warm, centred tone with responsive intonation across the full range of the instrument.
