• Boosey & Hawkes, circa 1960, nickel, imitation ivory

    Boosey & Hawkes was a woodwind instrument maker in London who took over the Starck shop when it closed in the mid-1950s. The firm made pipes but they also had other makers make their pipes, mostly Lawrie and Starck.

    This set is in excellent condition, although the original stocks were lost and have now been replaced by stocks from a different set. The blowpipe has been lined with brass. These pipes played very well with my reeds: steady, full, and very much in the Naill tradition.

    This set provides good tonal quality for an affordable price.
