One girl at my school bought one, but I have never heard of this model. Anyone mine telling me more about this model?

I't's rather unusual that a young student would have such an expensive ($5400+) clarinet.

Except for Julian Bliss, does anyone know of a professional musican who actually owns one and plays it on a regular basis?

Yep, Eddie Daniels. He was very proud of it and wanted to show me all cool "features" it had, when I got the wonderful opportunity to watch his rehearsal here in Stockholm recently.

Eddie is certainly a respected pro. and his approval means something.

Eddie aside, it's notable that a lot of well known professionals have a little of the gear acquisition syndrome, the deadly GAS, (like many of us).

One very well known young symphony clarinetist seems to favor a change of gear, mouthpieces, barrells, bells, reeds, etc. about three times a year! Still Lazarus had eighty mouthpieces in use!

I'm sure Eddie's sincere, but we'll check next season and see if he's still a Legacy man....

I'm pretty sure that beyond a certain level, and artist can paint anything with just about any brush. :P

Speaking of people that have switched (and I think he might've already been mentioned in this thread...hah), has Ricardo Morales started using the Leblanc/Backun clarinets? (I assume he would use a Legacy if he did?)
He's listed as a Leblanc artist.

Ricardo has a Legacy and a Symphonie and says he uses them both regularly.

Ricardo has been noticed at public concerts playing a Selmer with a Bakun bell and barrell! Maybe someday he'll play the whole Legacy thing. Hopefully he was using a Rico Reed which he has endorsed. I wonder if these guys regularly use half the things they endorse. I suppose it doesn't matter but....

Old Geezer,

How recent was the sighting? I know Ricardo played a Selmer Recital with a Backun bell and barrel the past few years, but he told me he had switched to the Legacy last fall.

I also heard (from Morrie Backun himself) that Ricardo is playing the Legacy (and the Symphonie). But he has so many instruments it's always hard to keep up.

But I agree that it is unusual for such a young player to have such an expensive instrument.

Thisd is really not the best instrument for a high-school clarinetist. She should send it to me immediattely, and I will swap out a much more suitable Leblanc Cadenza for her at no charge to her. I will even pay for the shipping! [grin]

Ya know, Brenda, we just gotta love Jeff . . . he will bend over backwards to help a young student who is struggling to play a horn that was not designed to play tunes like "Grandfather's Clock", "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", etc. What a guy!!

Hello,

I attended a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York this weekend. Ricardo played the Brahms Quintet with Gil Shaham and friends.

He played it on a Leblanc by Backun Legacy A Clarinet with Cocobolo bell and Cocobolo barrel. It was a magnificent performance that he gave. He received a standing ovation, from a New York non - Clarinet audience and four curtain calls!

Ricardo is playing the Leblanc Legacy by Backun Clarinets now, and has been for several months for both his solo and orchestral work.

Regards to all.

Morrie Backun

Morrie, if you want us to babysit any of your spare Legacies, I'm sure we'll be happy to do it. Maybe before Jeff figures out a way to steal the Legacy out of the hands of babes. :)

The answer as to what Ricky plays is a Leblanc Legacy.

One other question might be...did he pay retail?
