RE: Leblanc LL's Tone

Wow, I didn't expect that many responses! Considering all the input, I'll probably stay with my set-up for a while, let my embouchure develop further, and experiment a bit more with reeds. That is certainly the cheaper option. I hate to think that I would have to spend more on accesories than on the horn itself (just over $300). My Dutch frugal nature has a problem with that! Overall, I love the LL. It has great intonation and volume. It seems ideal for doubling in the big band where I have no problem being heard! I thought that the upper register was a bit "shrill", or as Don says more kindly "overly brilliant", but (in answer to Synonymous Botch) noone in the band has commented negatively on that. In fact, I have received only positive reactions. I still do think that in a classical setting, I'll need a somewhat darker tone and, for that, I'll obviously need to make some changes. I'm open to further suggestions. Thanks all of you again for the input.
