I have both a Symphonie #8XXX and a Dynamique #5XX. I was playing the Symphonie full time about a year ago but sometime last fall started playing the Dynamique for a change. In my opinion the Dynamique is a much nicer playing horn and has better intonation. The keying on the two is identical. My Symphonie II A #4XXX is an acceptable horn and again the keying matches the other two.

The Symphonie, like all Leblancs of this time period, is well made and attention to detail is evident. Luxurious instruments, but with an intimate and relatively "superficial" sound (a tone that is more "surface" than depth). The wood is excellent and the lay of the keywork is very nice."

I did some forum digging, and turned up with a very good answer to what the leblanc symphonies represent. I think Bill says it best about the symphonie, and i'm now grasping where the symphonie falls in line with other clarinets. Basically the symphonie plays with light tones, whereas the buffet r13 is more of an all around hitter, and lastly, the conn 424n is truly the color of all colors, blatantly wacky in tune, but colorful in it's respects. THATS why buffet r 13 clarinets are valued so much. i understand the blue for selmer, and red for buffet analogy, and why leblanc's latest release of it's backun/symphonie clarinet falls into the purple zone. Leblanc finally got it right.....

phew. thats enough research for tonight. until tomorrow

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
