Question
I have a boosey & hawked clarinet
The FDGWARE
Serial 45249
Made in England
And I was wondering if it has any value
Thanks
Ray Hanke

Answer
Hello Ray...The Edgeware was the student line of clarinets from  Boosey & Hawkes..Some were made of plastic,some of wood...The serial number of your clarinet indicates 1947 manufacture....As a 64 year old student level clarinet [in excellent condition] it would be worth $100-200/depending on wood/plastic construction....Cheers   JACK
