Description: | A page from a Boosey & Hawkes catalogue circa 1971. Boosey & Hawkes was founded in 1930 and initially concentrated its instrument making activities on woodwind and brass instruments. From the late 1940s, the company began buying up brand names and franchises for other kinds of instruments, many of which were then produced at their Edgware factory. Wheatstone was acquired in 1948 through the purchase of Besson. Boosey & Hawkes produced Wheatstone concertinas at Edgware until 1975. This catalogue demonstrates the vast range of musical instruments that Boosey & Hawkes were either producing or importing in their heyday. It is divided into nine sections: brass, woodwind, percussion, military accessories, guitars, string instruments, school instruments, concertinas and electronic equipment. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | circa 1971 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
