The LeBlanc Opus Model (1190s) has the low E flat key on the B Flat
clarinet. A friend of mine I play with has one and I have
tried it a few times. The extra key seems to get in the way but I would
assume time would cure it. The Clarinet carries a list price if $4850
and a selling price of $2867 from a catalog from The Woodwind Company in
Southbend Indiana
