Originally a high pitched instrument it has been converted to play in regular modern pitch. The instrument is free blowing and plays great across all the registers with a rich singing tone and is especially impressive in the pedal range. All the slides move as they should. Cosmetically, as can be seen from the photographs, it has had its fair share of knocks in it one hundred year existence, but it still plays as well as many a modern instrument. Comes supplied in a woodshell case. no mouthpiece included.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Boosey &amp; Co.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boosey &amp; Company&#8217;s history goes back 250 years to the 1760s when John Boosey founded a music lending library in London. By pioneering inexpensive editions of the classics, the company expanded rapidly, acquiring the rights to works by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1850s the company branched out into making brass and wind instruments. 1867 saw the launch of the renowned Boosey Ballad Concerts, including such favourites as <em>The Lost Chord<\/em> by Sir Arthur Sullivan, <em>Danny Boy<\/em> and <em>Abide with Me<\/em>. This success continued with the publication of works by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boosey.com\/composer\/Edward+Elgar\">Elgar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boosey.com\/composer\/Ralph+Vaughan%20Williams\">Vaughan Williams<\/a>. In 1892 Boosey &amp; Company established an office in New York, a business still flourishing today as Boosey &amp; Hawkes Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Hawkes &amp; Son was founded in 1865 by William Henry Hawkes. The company followed a rival course to Boosey &amp; Company, concentrating on band and orchestral music publishing, but also diversifying into the manufacture of instruments, fittings and reeds. Over the next 60 years, the company continued to develop its publishing activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boosey Imperial four valve compensating euphonium dating from around 1926-1927.
