Questions about early 1980s B&H/Besson production
Hello all,
I have a question concerning Boosey and Hawkes production around the time that my Imperial euphonium was made (1982). From the research that I've done since acquiring the horn, which was a little over a year ago now, it seems that this was near the time that Boosey and Hawkes discontinued the Imperial/New Standard models and began to only produce the Sovereign line. Is this nearly correct? Does anybody know when exactly B&H discontinued the Imperial/New Standard?
Thanks very much
