Just give the LeBlanc Sonata a try. We've tested this student model with several
clarinettists. Even people used to playing Buffet topmodels (Festival, RC) are
enthusiastic about it.

By the way, I've heard that the Buffet E11 model is not made by Buffet at all,
but by a German factory (Schreiber?).

The LeBlanc company is owned by the same person or company that ownes the Vito
brand. The LeBlanc brand is used for the wooden clarinets produced by the
LeBlanc factory in France; the Vito brand is used for 'plastic' instruments
fabricated in America. It is possible that the same factory also sells the same
instruments to Yamaha.
