I'm not up to date on what brands are best and all that.....so I really don't know if my horn is that great or not.

On the case, the clasps that hold is closed says LeBlanc. On the horn its self it says Noblet, and under it Paris. It does have a number on the back of it, a serial number I assume. Is there anyway I can learn anything about my horn from it?

Some of the keys stick, and I'm sure the pads have seen better days. Some of the cork has been replaced by dental floss, lol....dental floss is the high school marching band must have for clarinet players!!! My ligature only has one functioning screw!! LOL!

This horn has seen a lot of concerts, a lot of halftime shows and many parades. I wouldn't part with it for anything! It does not have any cracks at all.

I know this probably sounds stupid, but sometimes when I play it, it's almost as if air won't even pass through it!! What's that all about?

Considering its age and its flaws, it doesn't play that bad, until you get to the upper registeres.

Any ball park figure of what it might cost to have it overhauled?

Thanks guys...I really like this board!

Amy
