Got the Leblanc 930 Low c bass today. Great instrument, but came with a B45 - better then nothing. I could play all notes pretty well during rehearsal and didn't eel like having a problem with the different voicing and embouchure - in fact, it feels pretty awesome and people seemed pleased with the sound (my bass colleague sure was!)
Of course the instrument had to have been overhauled in a mediocre way, with the lower pads lacking height and thus the LH pinky levers touching each other. The clarion B didn't respond well, but that wasn't me.
3 1/2 Vandoren reeds seemed a bit too much, and I had one or two squeaks with he lowest notes, which again might be due to one pad not sealing ok.
Seems I'm going to do some adjustments "illegally", but otherwise, it's a great instrument and incredibly much fun to play. For now, I'll order a couple of Pomarico MPCs for trial and practice scales and low notes
