My pride and joy is a Leblanc LX, model 1185S, purchased new in June '02 from a charity in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Leblanc Corporation had donated it, and my bid, at $800, was the highest on eBay.
I am not sure when it was made, but the Feb/Mar 1990 issue of 'The Clarinet' has a review of it, as well as a full-page, inside-rear cover ad. At the time, it may have been near the top of the line, perhaps a precursor to the Concerto.
It is a wonderfull horn. easy to play, great sounding with a Walter Grabner mouthpiece, inverted Bonade, and Gonzos 3 1/4 FOFs.
