With any clarinet, provided they've been given adequate venting by whoever's set them up, they'll play well and with very little stuffiness.

More often than not you'll find old Leblancs that have once belonged to schools or colleges have had a tough life and never given the attention or the money spent on repairing them that they deserve, so can be bought at a very good price and then worth having fully restored by a competent tech who understands they need good ventings to bring them to life.
