Re: A good alto clarinet for demanding uses?

clarnibass,

well, that's great to hear! Though the current Selmer comes with a rather crazy price tag, I reckon they know how to make fine low clarinets.

In two weeks, I'll get test a #9xxx serial "swan neck" Leblanc and it's actually for sale, so we'll see how favorably it compares to the Selmer, which I really need to service to unlock its potential. Interestingly, the Leblanc is equipped with a floor peg and the case seems to have been designed for it, so it must've been one of the late days of Leblanc's France production. This is a true "300S" model. Here's hoping that they also did something to improve tuning. By "better current one", are you refering to the Leblanc USA L7165?

Sure would be a nice add to my collection since I already own the 430S bass.
