|Has anyone heard of a model clarinet called the LeBlanc Spirit (not the
|Esprit). I've been looking for a clarinet in "C" and this model apparently
|is available in "C" in Europe. It is not the Noblet 45 - which is also
|available in Europe and even more expensive than in the US. Weirdly, the
|Esprit seems to be cheaper than the Noblet in europe.
|
|There is a British mail order place that has one - new - for $843.
Shipping
|cost to me in the US would be approxmately $45.00. This is quite a bit
less
|than the $1345 for the Noblet from Woodwind and Brasswind. I've been
|looking high and low for a used one and haven't located a used one yet.
|
|Anyone at all know anything about this "Spirit" model. I can't find
|anything on the Leblanc web page or anywhere at all.

Sherry,

The Leblanc Spirit is a discontinued model. I was planning to buy the
Spirit, when I checked with my local retailer, and they said so.

But, from the description in the Leblanc catalog, it sounds like a very good
instrument, which is why I was interested in the first place. I would just
say go for it!
