Terry,

Your post was AWESOME!

I played an alto part in a symphony performance back in MA many (30+) years ago and even had a little solo on it. Can't remember the piece now.Think the concert programs are all archived somewhere so I'll have to find it again.

I actually have two LeBlanc (Paris) altos, one fully reconditioned into near new shape. The reconditioned one has a beautiful sound, more like what you associate with a Selmer. The Hawkin's mouthpiece, VanDoren optimum ligature and a good reed are all essential in getting a realy pretty sound. I use an identical setup for the bassett horn.

By the way, if you want to read some alto clarinet bashing, read the book on bassett horn by Terry Newhill. Admittedly SOME of what he says is true!

Eefer guy
