Dear Ruben,

I have very limited insight into the Leblanc history other than what I have read in old news paper articles and forum discussions.

What I have done is to reverse-engineer some models by measuring them. Then the difference between the Leon Leblanc models and the Ridenour ones become very apparent. They can also be told apart solely by playing them.

The L300 is the odd bird in the Leon Leblanc family, with its soft and round sound. It both stands out from its predecessors and successors. The closest resembling modern clarinet that I can think of is the Selmer Signature.

I didn't say the Ridenour designed clarinet were better overall by some standard, only that they tuned better and that is said objectively. I prefer them playing wise too.
