I believe Leblanc Alto's had two different necks over the years: one a simple 'bent neck' of 4 -1/4" length, the other a 'swan neck' not quite like a bass clarinet, of 5 - 3/8" length. I don't know if these two necks were both used on the nearly-identical Noblet Altos, but my Noblet (ser. # 66xx) has the shorter neck, my Leblanc (ser. #75xx) has the longer swan neck. To make up for this neck length difference, the UJ of the Leblanc is 12 -7/8", the UJ of the Noblet is 14" (total length, incl. tenon). These two necks are interchangeable! Hope this helps, Clark
