Re: Experience on Leblanc Vito V40

IME, the 7214s play a little sharp with the stock barrels. The V40s are a little closer to perfect with stock barrels. If there is a weak spot with the Vitos, it is the final reaming of the barrels...there is some variability. These respond very well to modern Moennig tapers in barrels. I use a Buffet 'Moennig' 65 on my V40 and it tunes well and responds nicely.

I have tried a few Backun (sp) Alphas and have been summarily unimpressed. The ones I tried play with high resistance, much like the Buffets. I bought a used one a while back to see what could be done about resistance, and found that intonation suffered when I opened up the venting and played with a free-blowing mouthpiece. If you like stock Buffets, they might be considered, but if you play Selmers, Leblancs or other more free-blowing clarinets they will be difficult. I also A/B'ed it with a Yamaha 25 that I was doing some work on and found the Yamaha to be superior in every way...that said, I prefer the modern Vitos to the Yamahas, which is why the V40 is my 'go to' for outdoors and backup.

Does the V40 correlate at all to the Noblet model 40? new
