A new Leblanc Professional clarinet?

I recently saw on Instagram than Julian Bliss posted a picture of a "new instrument" set to be released in early 2017 by Leblanc. From the picture it appears to be very similar to the current Bliss clarinet, but with a few differences:

•There are three posts on the left side of the lower joint, suggesting it will have a left hand Ab/Eb key
•The socket rings are of a different style

Does anyone have any information on this new instrument? I'm wondering if Leblanc is finally going to release a new professional clarinet. It would certainly be exciting to see a professional version of the Bliss clarinet, or perhaps a new version of the Opus. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Don't hold your breath. Sounds like a cosmetic makeover to me.

They might be doing a similar thing to buffet, where they release only slightly different instruments more often. I'd be interested to try it though.
