The keys were beautifully preserved, and my general impression was that this horn had either barely been played, or wonderfully restored recently-perhaps both. The particular model I played was in excellent condition.
Top jazz players have always played top pro model horns, and the Edgware was a high end student model horn from the 50s-70s when Boosey & Hawkes were at their height.B&H EdgwareSo it was with a predisposition towards dismissiveness that I recently played an Edgware dating from about 1949 (if the serial number chart I checked is to be believed). I've always been a bit skeptical of this, thinking is says more of the player's poor understanding of jazz sound than the instrument. There are many on the web who say the B&H Edgware makes a good jazz clarinet.
