Subj: [kl] Leblanc Paperclip Contra-Alto
Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2010 13:12:39 -0400

Leblanc made metal Eb contra-altos, but most of them were straight
models going down to (written) E or Eb. They made a few in the
"paperclip" format extending to written C, but they're rare. I've
seen only one, in addition to the one in the photo. The Eb paperclip
is shown at the far right on a Leblanc advertising photo from, I
think, the late 1940s or early 1950s at
