A lot of the keywork on Leblanc clarinets is the same or similar to
that used on student line horns. I have an old Normandy bass clarinet
that I've saved just for parts. Measure the distance between the posts.
Also measure where the arm must be that overrides the cam of the left
hand F/C lever. I might have a key that will work, or could be made to
work with some modifications. You can email me personally.
