 Anyone have any comments about this model?  I'm sure it would be an upgrade from my high school band's instrument I played years ago.  Any feedback would be appreciated in case I decide to pursue this.  Thanks!

 The LL series Leblancs had perhaps the largest range of instruments from any clarinet maker, more extensive than the Buffet RC or Selmer 10S range - the LL is in the same pricing bracket as these. 
 
You can't go wrong with this one.

 Many people love the LL series, I've one and it's a great clarinet!  
 
I've to agree with Chris P, you can't go wrong with this one.

 Thanks for all the feedback!  The guys and gals on this message board are really great.  I've learned so much--maybe someday I'll know enough to have a useful contribution.  Thanks again.

 It arrived in perfect condition, it's beautiful and I love it!  Now for the fun in learning to play it well.  Thanks for the encouragement.

 Enjoy playing it, look after it and have it well maintained and this Eb will last you for decades. They're probably the most sturdily built ones there are.
