I have a 1962 Selmer B flat Paris, bore of .595 (according to shop replacing pads). Anybody able to give me a comparison of their(LeBlanc Noblet, Selmer 1962) respective qualities??
Thanx, in advance.
Chuck

You didn't give the model of the Selmer so it's somewhat limiting. If it's a Centered Tone or Series 9 then it's a striaght cylindrical bore, if it's a Series 9* then it's a poly cylindrical like the Buffet R-13. All 3 are professional quality clarints.
The Noblet is an intermediate grade instrument and would compare more closely with the Selmer Signet or Omega. LeBlanc's pro models of the recent past are the L7, Double L.... and several others.

Mark, it is a center tone, and as near a perfect condition as possible. I understand it is considered a "professional" model, or was when produced.
Thank you much,
Chuck

Well..... I can't discuss specifics on the comparison, but if I was offered a choice of a Centered Tone or a Noblet, I'd take the Selmer. I have a 1961 Selmer 9* which is a great clarinet.
