Subj: Update on the Leblanc vs. Festival Decision
Date: Sat, 14 Sep 1996 23:36:21 -0400

As some of you may remember, I posted a question regarding the differences
between the Leblanc Concerto and the Buffet Festival. After reading your
responses which, by the way, were very helpful. I went out and tried the
Leblanc. After testing seven different horns, I picked one out for a long
term test (10 days). I have now purchased that clarinet. Compared with my
old R13, I am amazed at how it is to play in the high registers (one of my
weak areas).

This is a general thank you to everyone for their insights. It was greatly
appreciated.
