Re: Leblanc Paris Full Boehm

Is that an LX or L7? It has the mother of pearl disc inset into the top joint above the logo which the LX and L7 had. I thought Leblanc offered just the LL in full Boehm form, but have since seen they also offered some Noblets as full Boehms and now this one which isn't an LL,

It looks like it can do with a complete rebuild and a good oiling as the wood looks very dry - my Selmer CT full Boehm was far worse looking than that, but has since scrubbed up well and is my primary clarinet after having a full overhaul.

The barrel looks really short on that - the standard length is 67mm but that looks like it's nearer 62mm which may be fine for some players, but I wouldn't be able to use a barrel that short without serious intonation problems as I prefer to play on a 67mm and pull out by around 1-2mm.
