Re: Leblanc paperclip model Contrabass clarinet

I own both the leblanc model 350 contra alto paperclip and the 340 contra bass paperclip and these are fine instruments and mechanical marvels.

They have a powerful low end, and the clarion is quite useful but is also sensitive to the slightest misadjustment of the speaker vents (which is probably true of all very large clarinets). The extended range of these instruments makes them quite versatile musically.

Their compact shape allows for a very reasonable size of case, so transport is not a problem.
