Re: IDENTIFIYING AN OLD LEBLANC

TKS, mrn, for the Stubbins info and pat #, the ?who came first? [with the compromised register and Bb keying solutions] tho, goes to Leblanc via pat # 1,929,xxx [will supply if asked]. I understand that they did fight over it, since Leon's pat should have been cited in S's pat examination. It sounds to me like you [olddog] have another one of these [very few] Leblancs with this structure. We have one here in [my] River City OK, which the owner [and I] loaned to Debbi Reeves [NMMuseum, Vermillion S D] who wrote a definitive article on this subject in recent I C A Journals. I was intrigued also with the provision of TWO toneholes/pads for the lower F/C [ on "ours" and ? on yours], which is somewhat common for [at least] Selmer "type" bass cls, but almost never found on sop cls. Olddog !, can you post a pic of your horn, or comment on mrn's linked pics, please, you may have a "rare bird" here ! Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
