The neck is angled like an alto. A bass neck is shaped more like the "P" trap under the sink. One of those bidders is gonna be awfully disappointed when they open that package.

Willie -- That's what I thought too.
I'd sure use my eBay insurance on that one, if I was the high bidder & didn't know better.

Query re:Neck. Didn't Leblanc use a modified neck, somewhat like a Bay on ocassion? Could this be a Bass with a modified neck. What is the length?

Please ... nobody ... don't plan on using eBay's $200 insurance. It will take you so long to collect and you'll spend so much time perfecting your Claim, that you would have paid to avoid the experience. I recommend a hypnotist instead who can banish the evil thought demonds from your body after a bad experience. Best, mw

The Bay neck (wish I had one) is even more "S" shaped to get the mouthpiece at a more upward angle the stock necks. The stock neck looks almost like the P trap drain under the kitchen sink making the mouthpiece too horrizontal. The alto (and I think some basset horns) have only about a 45 degree bend in the middle and much shorter.

It looks like an alto and Leblanc altos are junk. I wouldn't pay a nickel for this horn.

Why does it look rusted? Maybe it's been used in a "Heavy Metal" band?

They've finally corrected the listing. I wonder if the high bidder will finish the transaction now that the description is changed from bass to alto.

Anyway I'm glad they finally saidi t was an alto, but Bob said, yet Leblanc did have a modified neck, which was more bent than like a swan. I remember how whenever the band wanted me to play Bass Clarinet I always tried to make sure I didn't get one with one of those necks..... because they were horrible.
