 Leblancs of late 90’s and ‘00s
Author: Ed Lowry

At the end of the last century, Leblanc changed from their L7 - L200, L-300 series to a poly-cylindrical style with designs led, I believe, by Tom Ridenour. Among these designs were the Concerto (I and II), Infinite, Sonata, and Rapsodie. The Concertos command high prices at auction, but the Sonata and Rapsodie, in particular don’t. They both had the in-line Leblanc style keys, whereas the a Concerto (and perhaps Infinite) did not.

My questions is whether acoustically there are any real (significant?) differences between all of these models; or was it more of a marketing strategy to appeal to all price levels with essentially the same instrument?
