Bravo to you for noticing this piece of advertising crap!! I commented
on it more than two years ago and asked exactly the same question. The
LeBlanc company ought to be ashamed of itself for continuing to make
this silly and absolutely unprovableassertion. To speak of an
instrument that they first came out with relatively few years ago and
which, prior to that time, had not been heard for almost 200 years as
having a "normally weaker register" is so marketing, that it is blatant
sham.
