I own a Leblanc Opus.

1. It is perhaps one of the finest instruments. It is not in any way
of lesser quality than a Buffet R-13.

2. It is black.

Just because Leblanc doesn't have the giant reputation of brands like
Buffet doesn't necessarily mean it is an inferior instrument.

Interesting, because I am just now looking at one Opus Bb and one Opus A
clarinet and they are brown!
