(His work is praised by a number of posters on that forum.© Copyright 2000-2022 Limited. The upshot of what I've read so far is this: if you want your B&H 2-20 to play really well, (1) use a VanDoren B45 mouthpiece (2) send it to a gent named David Spiegelthal and have him do some tonehole undercutting and re-contouring of certain "clunky" keys. (But then, tone and timbre are notoriously hard to describe in words.) Apparently there are players who love the sound the old Booseys make, although nobody really does a good job of explaining in what way their tone differs from the dominant Buffets and Selmers. Now, I was able to google-up a couple of long discussion threads on the forum, where there were both cheers and boos to be read. I hope to hear from a forum member who actually owns a B&H 2-20 or has had a number of them in his hands. The intent of my inquiry is not so much "what's it worth?" as "what's it like?"

To my eye, it presents as an intermediate-level instrument, but remember, I'm a brass player. ![]() It is in a molded plastic case, which would probably mean it was manufactured after 1960. The only other distinguishing mark is the familiar Globe-with-Superimposed 8th-Note logo which is stamped on the barrel, not on the bell section as one would expect. I would judge it as made of nice-quality, tightly-grained grenadilla. It was stored under favorable conditions, so it should be fine, structurally speaking. Failing that, I hope I can rely on some of you for guidance.ĭescription: it's a B&H 2-20 Bb soprano that turned up in a relative's closet. ![]() If I were a woodwind player rather than a brasser, I could wet a reed and answer most of my own questions. ![]()
