Subj: Re: Just how old is my Leblanc L70?
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 1994 14:01:34 -0500

I am an old Leblanc player--physical age as well. I grew up in Wisconsin
and have had many opportunities to visit the Kenosha plant of Leblanc--
played the instrument for many years and still have a very wonderful set of L30
0"s.

I am not sure what you have if your Buffet is marked London--Londres. That is
a new one on me--but if you contact Boosey & Hawkes and Leblanc--phone numbers
can be gotten frm your local dealer--they will be able to give you some help
as far as dating goes. Hope this helps--no ps.
