Re: Early 60s Leblanc Bass Clarinet

Steve - many thanks for that. If more information is unearthed in your archives, then I would be pleased to hear of it.

As I mentioned above, I understand the instrument originally had a metal brace screwed in to attach the UJ to the LJ. The (leblanc) box it shipped in seems to be about 5mm too narrow, widthways, to accomodate the assembled body of the instrument. It is in a bad way anyway and I need a new box

But I was wondering - with these instruments are they usually stored with the UJ always screwed into the LJ in a single body box, or are they usually unscrewed and stored in a 5 piece box. Not having the brace, I don't know what taking it apart involves.

And the answer to that would lead me on to finding a suitable replacement box. Looking for a cheap replacement I have come across five piece case and one piece case.

Would either of these be a suitable replacement for me? Can anybody point me towards anything similar in the UK?

Chris
