Update!
As of yesterday the odd but fun little Noblet C plateau has been indirectly traded in for a lovely Leblanc Esprit Eb.
Just what I was originally hunting for!
It's a beautiful instrument (see the 'new baby' photo), with amazing tone and smooth keywork. Intonation is questionable, but I'm more to blame than it I suspect and I will improve. The tuner is my best friend currently!

Does anyone know when the Esprit model came into (and exited) being? I understand it was offered between 1997 and 2003? Or was it released earlier? My Eefer's serial is B851xx.

And am I correct in my thinking that Tom Ridenour was the designer for this model range as well as the Infinite and Opus models?

Since the Leblanc buyout it appears very little information is out there, particularly for the last iteration of models.
