Re: Noblet C plateau clarinet

Thanks for all the replies. I never thought this horn was a full Boehm.

I found a pdf in the link below of a 1974 Leblanc price guide of a plateau in C (model 200 in A, C or Eb). I know Leblanc made all Noblet clarinets in the 20th century.

Is there much or any difference between a Leblanc 200 and a Noblet 45 or they easily distiguished by features/playabilty? Were they made in the same factory in the early 1970s?

By the way this clarinet is a gem to play. I was expecting some leaks to contend with. But it's in simply amazing condition. I suspect a pro player had it kept aside for those odd jobs requiring a C instrument. It's got a really lovely tone and feels nices in the hands. Less punchy sounding than my Bb. But that could be the plateau keywork?

However, I'm not really intending to play a C much and still looking for a nice wood Eb!
