To Hat & others: FYI--Tom Ridenour once told me (when he was the head accoustician for LeBlanc having developed the Opus and Concerto clarinets) that he could play any clarinet in tune and evenly--this was while he was critqueing on of my R-13s. He then convinced me that the LeBlancs were the best thing since "sliced bread" for clarinets and did some masterful tweeking on a set for me which I bought and played faithfully for the past ten years. When he left LeBlanc (rather unhappy and disillusioned with management, I think), he immidiantly started pushing the new Selmer Sig. as the best clarinet on the market. Credability????? Selmer money???? Tom is a talentled and good person, but I wonder...... Personally, I have switched back to my old R-13s and am amazed at how well they are playing for me--and at my age, I know it must be the instruments 'cause I am not as good as I used to be. New horns??? Buyer beware. Reputation may be a good word here. Good luck, all.
