Re: Leblanc from 1950s/60s with special Bb key

I tried a Leblank A clarinet with the mechanism/keys you described. The private seller wanted about $900-$1000 for it

I did not like the mechanism because it was slow to respond when both pressing and releasing the register and A throat keys.
In addition, that instrument sounded like a student model, at least to my ears.
When I looked up the price on "that" auction site, there was a Bb model with the same mechanism that sold for about $800, I think.
I eventually bought a Buffet RC that definitely sounded better then LeBlanc. Paid about $1700 too.
