Does anyone have experience with silver LeBlanc contrabass clarinets? I recently bought one that had not been played in years, possibly decades. Does this instrument have potential to make music or do I have the start of a large lamp?
It has no dents or obviously bent rods. It is almost playable, but it needs at least a few new pads and adjustment by a knowledgeable tech. Some buffing would result in a beautiful looking instrument. I would like some idea of how it might sound and its inherent limitations before spending more than the purchase price for an overhaul.
