Re: Will Leblanc make a comeback?

The Opus and Concerto models did make a few converts at the pro level. Today a great Leblanc Bb and A soprano pro level pair, with each selling between $3000 and $3800, might do even better if the quality control was tight and the basic set-up at least got the pads to seal. Is it feasible to include cork pads on the upper joint as an out the box option for those many pros who want them? One question Leblanc market research might ask is what do competent-to-excellent repair technicians think of the model. When repair people honestly say good things about a model, the word tends to spread and sales go up. Just asking "educators" for their opinion isn't enough. Advice is cheap; repairs can be troublesome and expensive.

The combination of "made in the USA" along with "made to last" could be a winner. Maybe a Harley-Davidson (but definitely not a tempramental Jaguar) among clarinets?
