Re: Selmer vs. LeBlanc conta altos

Thank you all for your opinions. A friend and I have written each other back and forth over the pros and cons and I have decided on buying the BBb LeBlanc because it will add significantly more to my range and will be a high quality professional horn. Unfortunately, it is a bit of a wait for this horn. No one seems to have it in stock. And maybe buy the Selmer USA contra alto as a little Xmas present to myself. Just got a royalty check so am feeling rich!That way I'd have one of every clarinet. My own private clarinet choir! Also it sounds as though for a Selmer USA instrument, this is one of their better horns. My friend that played it in high school did make nice music with it and made all-state and all Eastern USA on it (and eventually the Navy Band). I have been asked to play alto and contra alto in the past so it might improve my gigs too.

Again many thanks for all of your opinions. This is why this forum is so valuable. Where could you ever get so many experienced opinions on any subject?

Eefer guy
