Fuzzy,

I can echo your praise of the L200 as I have one with the beautiful original case (even the warranty card). When I was lurking on eBay almost 20 years ago, the seller did not have very good pictures on the website. However, Tom Ridenour gave me the name of a person at LeBlanc who I called. I showed him the pictures on eBay and he said "Yes, it is am L200..." He also said "I hope that is not one of the L200s that was rebored (it was not). I think I got a real steal on the clarinet as it needed a repad which I quickly had done.

The instrument has been the backup for my Yamaha CS Custom for all that time. The L200 is probably one of the best playing clarinet in my arsenal. The intonation is amazing from the top to the bottom. The instrument is built like a tank and I love playing it.

So you ask "why are you always playing your Yamaha instead of it?" Easy answer, the Yamaha CS Custom is an even better player. So, I'm a lucky man with a great wife, wonderful instruments for playing and doubling, a fantastic retirement, and all our grandchildren dote on us.

Life is good!
