 Re: Leblanc symphonie clarinets

Since I was quoted by C2thew I would like to add a few more comments on the old Leblanc clarinets that I use. First, the Symphonie is gone from my collection(neither my teacher nor I liked it) as a trade to my technition for a complete overhaul and replating of a 19XXX LL which I play every day. However, both my teacher and I seem to think the 5XX Dynamique is a marginally better horn. I also own a full Boehm LL serial 19XXX to low Eb which is not a good instrument and weights a tonne. The more I play on the serial 4XXX Symphonie II in A the more I like it. The performance of the Symphonie II has definitely improved since I switched to the Backun mouthpiece.

When I was a kid I played on a Bb Buffet serial 43XXX and a Leblanc ???? in A. I always loved the Leblancs of that era (Buffet was actually #3 at the time) but could not afford one. When I started my quest 3 years ago to play as well at 65 as I did at 18 I went to the famous auction site and purchased a number of old Leblancs to satisfy my teenage dreams. The symphony orchestra that I played in as a youth purchased and still owns my Leblanc A and I mean to go look at it and play it one of these days to see what it's like. I must also add that I love the way these old Leblancs fit my hands, they are so comfortable.

Finally, I have talked to Morrie Backun about barrels for these horns but have yet to have time to go into his shop and try some out.

A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
