Re: How many Leblanc Opus players among us?

I currently play the OpusII that I think is the best acoustical clarinet I've had.

But I've had very mixed experiences along the way. My first run in with the Leblancs (Concerto, Opus; ConcertoII, OpusII) was with the original Concerto in the late '90s. It was one of the Army's horns so I only was able to play it at that duty station before I moved to yet another duty station. I fell in love with. Years later I was on our band's "intranet" and found that that particular horn was available for any other band to "request it." That took some finagling but I was able to have it transferred over to my current place of employment. Long story short, I was less impressed with how it sounded within the context of an ensemble with Buffets all around me.........and set it aside.

Fast forward many more years later, I had the chance to buy a used OpusII (advertised on this very Board), found it was just a three hour drive from me and bought it on the spot! Even within the context of a strong Buffet presence (pretty much everywhere folks) it holds it own. I love it.
