Can anybody comment on the new Leblanc instruments? The only comments I have
heard about them have been either neutral (I don't know anything about them)
or bad (inconsistent intonation, etc.) However, look at the huge number of
wonderful musicians that play them (Eddie Daniels, Larry Combs, etc.) so they
probably are not ALL bad! Comments anyone?

---------The Leblancs are GREAT! I own a Leblanc Concerto and it is
wonderful. I heard that the R-13's were the inconsistent ones, and I saw
that on my old R-13. The Leblancs are flexible, even, consistent with a
beautiful tone quality. It's ease of playing makes this horn a dream to
play. I haven't really come across the problems that i had on my old R-13!
SERIOUSLY! I'd buy a Concerto. E-mail me sometime! I'd love to chat!
