 Leblanc Concerto II Bb clarinet
Author: clarimad

The left hand Eb/Bb auxiliary trill key on my Leblanc Concerto II Bb needs bending about a millimetre to stop my fingers colliding with it.
Are there any spares about in case the key breaks during bending?

Even though I have one of these clarinets (love it to death) I can't speak too much about that key because it sits upon the top of my dresser (can't even begin to deal with that key). Those paddle keys are really malleable, so I wouldn't worry about that.


The REAL problem (if you tend to bend keys to fix problems......as I do) is that the pad cups are supper soft and the the rest of the key to which the cup is attached is very stiff. You have to grab the part just behind the cup for that sort of adjustment.


FURTHER


The rings are very very stiff. Normally (on pretty much any other clarinet) you can easily adjust the heights of the rings or the evenness of those heights. With the Opus II you have to remove them from the horn, bend with pliers, and put back to test, for every operation.


I hate the keys; love the horn

The bend was a success - thanks again.
