Re: Experience on Leblanc Vito V40

I always wanted to get a V40 to have in my collection of clarinets, mostly to see if all their praise was justified.

So, last year on eBay, I was in the right place at the right time, and picked one up for $22. After a few tenon corks and 2 pads it was good to go. In addition, adding a Power Barrel to it transformed it into a very respectable instrument with nice projection and surprisingly good intonation.

Just for my own amusement I recently used the V40 with my big band to see if anyone in the sax section could tell any difference. It blended fine and the sound carried nicely.

Other than the Forte clarinet (which is in a class by itself), the V40 was definitely one of (if not the best) plastic clarinet manufactured over the past few decades...GBK
