 Re: Leblanc Basset Horn Age/Serial Numbers

Eefer Guy,

Well, the block letter logo in combination with your s/n seems to throw my theory about being serialized with the basses into a cocked hat. The 9613 bass from 1969 had the curved-top letters. Evidently the bassets had the venting on the thumb a lot later than the basses. From pictures on current dealer web sites it appears that they eventually went to the A key mechanism.

My original case is very rudimentary (read flimsy) with the remains of a "Leblanc" decal. I expect this was strictly for the non-US market. My keywork is exactly as you described - silver plated, by the way.

Tuning of these bigger horns is a mystery to me. Years ago when I was doing a little doubling on bass, I had a terrible time getting down to pitch on every horn I tried. When I picked up bass again recently I had the same problem, but I soon found myself pulling out less and less, and now it's not a problem.

Thanks again for all the info.

Jim
