Leblanc Opus A register tube

Author: CapnCheapo

Hello all,

As fans of the Opus clarinets may know, there was some controversy that after a certain point in production, the Opus A was going out with a register tube that was longer than the one originally designed. I am not sure if this was accidental or intentional, and some of the details seem to be lost at this point. I am not sure if the Concerto A had this happen or not.

I spoke with Tom Ridenour about a year ago and he was pretty sure he did not have the correct tube in his excess parts anymore. So I'm looking at the possibility of either modifying the existing one or having it 3D printed.

I recall 1 or 2 people either on the BB or the mailing list who have had the tube switched out. I was hoping they might come forward and provide some measurements.

Thanks!
