Subj: [kl] Leblanc Basset Horn Serial Numbers

Michael -

Leblanc dating used to be nearly impossible, You had to telephone
Dave Suber at Leblanc in Wisconsin: 262/658-1644. He had all the
lists and was very helpful, but had permission to look up only
individual numbers. It's a good bet that he was let go in one or
another of the buy-outs and reorganizations, but he may still be
around.

The situation has improved recently. The Clarinet Perfection site,
http://www.clarinetperfection.com/clsnLeblanc.htm, has very good
materials on Leblanc. I don't see basset horn serial numbers, but the
site owner may know something.

The Danny Chesnut site at
http://www.dannychesnut.com/Music/Clarinet/Leblanc/LeblancSerialNumbers.htm
has another list of numbers. It says that Carolyn Sue Kincaid Chesnut
plays Leblancs, so she or the site owner may be able to help.

For what it's worth, Leon Leblanc at least used to be reachable at:
Leon Leblanc
Noblet
13 Rue Georges Leblanc - 27750
La Couture Boussey, France
32 36 75 03

I'll put a query on the Clarinet board and let you know anything else
I find out.
