Re: Old Leblanc Bass Clarinet

All pro Leblanc basses have two piece bodies as standard, and fit in a case roughly the same size as an alto sax case which is much more compact than the long single piece case. You should be able to get a new case of this type to fit it - I think it'll fit in the plastic Yamaha bass case.

On the bottom joint on your bass, does it have two keys at the side of the joint under your right hand (both with metal key guards covering them)? This is a forked Ab/Eb mechanism so you can play Ab or Eb as xxx|xox.

The current equivalent is the L425S (which has the forked Ab/Eb mechanism). http://www.gleblanc.com/instruments/product.php?item=L425S
