I played it and like it. It's been 3 years though, but I have a very good memory for quality. There is talk about a new model coming out so you may want to visit their website. Maybe it is out. Search LeBlanc then search for Julian Bliss's latest models. I often run into him for maybe 15 minutes few but due to health issues I skipped the NAMM convention this year. Have something called frozen shoulders which hurt when a person tries to raise their arms about about shoulder length. No surgery is needed! They have a great products for some pro's and advanced players and the notes are free and easy to produce. Not like some of the stuffy Buffets and surely less expensive. It's a decent horn for jazz. A nice bore as well as classical, but not as free as the old Selmer Series 9* clarines. Jullian is easy to talk to and fun to talk with. Although our conversations were limited to 15 minutes to 30 minutes it was really fun talking about reeds and sound with his new horns. He likes stiffer reeds.

Although I am a Yamaha Artist I wouldn't mind playing on these over Buffet's and pro model Selmers. i like the Selmer line but for the cost these Bliss horns beat Buffet and Selmer cost wise by half or 3/4's and worth the money for very good horns.
