Perhaps Leblanc makes the "Infinite" from saplings. I suspect though that what
"youthful tone" really means is that the "Infinite" is particularly prone to squeeks
and squawks as though being played by a 10 year-old in his/her first year of study.
Maybe when these clarinets mature, their voices change and they become alto and bass
clarinets. Or is it that Leblancs that don't have this magical "youthful" tone
sound stale, musty and/or rotten by comparison? ;^) Any opinion, Dan?
