Re: stuffy Leblanc LL

If your LL is stuffy and purchased used first take the keys off the upper joint and make sure ALL the tone holes are clean. I have to clean the tone holes on my LL every 6 to 8 months but then I tend to consume liquids while tooting and don't brush my teeth after meals.

Best mouthpiece for an LL, a Backun, but if you can put up with a bit brighter sound an old Portnoy BP02 works good too.

Also, both my used Leblancs have cracked over the last 3 years, contrary to the fairy tale that old horns don't crack. So break it back in as if it were new and oil the bore and tone holes.

A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.
