I have also heard of problems with Leblanc. Recently and individual told
me of problems he had with a brand new Symphony Bb. After sending it back
to Leblanc to have the problems corrected, it came back worse than before.
According to him it is virtually unplayable in a professional setting. He
is back to using his old Buffet RC model.

Wow - the plot thickens! Joe - I hope you are keeping any and all of these
which come by! Check the archives for my story about my Leblanc Basset
Horn (which I sold after Francois Kloc made it beautiful again) - Leblanc
had problems then - and it appears that they continue to have problems.

Best wishes.
