I am thinking of buying a new Leblanc Bb clarinet and
am torn between the Opus and the Concerto. In the long
term how useful is the extra Ab/Eb key on the Opus?
Some people say that the Concerto has a more lyrical
sound...also the 189SL model has in line "jump" trill
keys while the Opus has offset trill keys. I know that
it's a matter of personal preference and obviously I
will try both, but I would really value the opinion of
any one who has played either instrument over a period
of time. Thanks.

....er what's an offset trill key? I play Buffet R13s and don't know whether
these have offset trill keys or not. Can someone describe these to me?

Thanks

Ian
