Re: Leblanc Bliss vs. Conn Pan Am

If you get a synthetic leblanc bliss, do some reading. The first batch had slightly different dimensions and had some tuning problems (allegedly from people reoprting it to possibly compensate for student "biting"). The wooden ones sound very good and I think they've been about the same throughout.

I haven't had a pan am, but I had a wooden leblanc bliss and a synthetic bliss (revamped dimension) and they were both excellent instruments. I also would recommend a different barrel. I just couldn't get those stock barrels to work, but with a different barrel it transformed it into a REALLY great horn.
