>Anyway, I did have a question regarding my clarinet. My parents

>wooden "noblet". I haven't heard anyone on the list mention "noblet"
>yet and didn't know if it's just an "off-the-wall" company. It also

>Just FYI - I've been taking a couple of lessons from a guy who is in a

>One of my clarinets, the one pitched in the key of C is a Noblet. It is
made by the Leblanc Co. It is an intermediate instrument, but I know of
several professionals who are using Noblet C clarinets. In my opinion it is
a good instrument and should serve you well. The mouthpieces that come with
these instruments are usually not very good however.
