 Leblanc L27, or is it .....?
Author: Craftylibrarian

Hi, My husband's childhood clarinet, bought new in approximately 1984 is a LeBlanc L27 (with the mother of pearl inlay).

BUT

It has a serial number of 60000, and I can only find reference to serial numbers going up to 57480 (though the date of that is right for the time of purchase). The serial number is the same on two parts, so I don't think it is a rogue part switched in from another clarinet.

Is this just a glitch? A typo? Or is this not an L27 at all?

Any help gratefully received. Googling isn't useful.

Leblanc were still making clarinets into the early 2000s.

I had an LL full Boehm with the serial number 575xx which must be a similar age as your L27. The Leblanc logos were stamped on this one rather than being engraved as they were on earlier ones.

The logos on our clarinet are engraved, and I have a picture of my husband in infant school playing it ( ;-) ), so the date is definitely 1984 or earlier. Il'll try to take a photo when the light is better.
