 Re: Leblanc Bass Clarinet to Low C -- Experiences?

"Some years ago, I had a low C Leblanc bass (don't recall the model number) on extended loan. Good tone and intonation, but pads kept falling out."

That was a problem at one time -- seems that the nickel plating inside the pad cups was too slippery to engage the shellac cement. If it happens to you, just use a screwdriver to scratch away some of the shiny plating (where the sun don't shine anyway) and pads will no longer keep falling out. Usually not even necessary to add more shellac, as it was all adhering to the back of the pad. Incidentally my experience is that these vintage Leblancs do not like brown leather pads -- work better with skin pads as originally equipped.

Is a Tosca nothing but a wooden B12?
