RE: Leblanc LL's Tone

Hi Henry - Having owned a few B45's and played more via repairing student horns, I have developed a dislike for B45's. I prefer VD's 11.6, a glass mp refaced to 5RVL, WW's G8 and a Yamaha 4C for band and general use, usually with med-soft to med-hard reeds depending on the music [range], using Bonade-type ligs on my LeBlancs, Dyn 2 and L7. Presently on EBAY, search LeBlanc clarinet, there are Combs 3 and Marcellas M13 mps at low bids, if you wish to try a "big" name. I've had some LL and Dyn H [big .590" bore like the P F] experience also, the LL [in my brochures] is a .582" bore, [medium IMHO, like mine]. LeB, prob. has "played-around" with modified bores, conicals and polycyls in the time period of these models, to match competition with Buff and Sel, hard to determine. I still try different mps on my horns too. Look on the mp charts Luck, Don
