I also acquired an American Leader clarinet as part of a bunch of repair tools I purchased from a former music store owner's family. Since I am a repair tech by trade and a clarinet player I did a thorough over haul on this horn. Much to my surprise, the thing plays really well. I own a small collection of a few of the better pro clarinets out there (R-13, Selmer 9*, Centered Tone, etc) and have played hundreds of clarinets. I was totally knocked out by this AMerical Leader. I would like to know who made it. I did a back to back comparison against a customers R-13 and noted that the American Leader was a bit brighter sounding than the Buffet but played in all registers equally well. It's a fine non-classical horn, for swing band doubling, Dixieland, etc.
