I found the following while searching for a specific diameter of a LeBlanc clarinet.

I decided to post it for reference purposes: (Leblanc, Selmer & Buffet)

Nice! I don't know if the model you were looking for was in this brochure, but I'll post it anyway:

Ridenour AureA Bb clarinet
Vandoren BD5 HD 13-series mouthpiece
Vandoren Optimum Silver ligature (plate 1)
Vandoren #4 Blue-box reeds

Hi David,

I was looking for the bore diameter of the Noblet 45 which is in both listings.

Thanks for adding your LeBlanc brochure (which I believe you posted before) because it is far, far more extensive than mine.

Other bore diameters I'm interested in finding are the Backun series, Ridenour clarinets, Yamaha clarinets, and the latest from Buffet.

It would be nice to have them all in one place.

If anyone can fill in these gaps, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Ridenour's measurements are probably in the name itself. The 576bc is probably named for its bore size (as is their 575 A clarinet and 570 C clarinet).

I just measured my bore on my AureA Bb clarinet. (The AureA and the Libertas II are identical other than the Aux Eb/Ab lever and gold plated posts.)

My digital caliper isn't as precise, but it does measure for .576".

The Noblissima is also modeled after the 576bc so I'd easily surmise that its bore is also .576".
