Up for sale is this 1950s vintage 'Symphonie' model Bb Boehm pro clarinet by Leblanc of Paris. It is grenadilla wood with nickel silver keys and a medium bore of .585". These are some of the best clarinets made in the last 50 years, in my opinion, and wonderful for Jazz! It is in amazingly near mint condition, with sharp tenons and chimneys, no repairs. It has been disassembled, body soaked in oil, keys swedged and countersunk (to remove lost motion), body and keys buffed, all new Pisoni leather pads and cork installed, logos re-gilded, and reassembled and adjusted for optimal play-ability. Warm, classic "French" tone, with great ergonomics and intonation. I am really pleased with the play-ability of the instrument! Comes with original Leblanc case in excellent condition and reed case. Please note that auctions may end at any time, as these instruments are often also offered on my site - 'The Vintage Clarinet Doctor" - where more pics and information are available.
My Qualifications I am a trained woodwind instrument tech and past member of NAPBIRT (the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians) working out of a private shop in Central VA and have restored many instruments for sale on ebay. I believe that my 14 years of positive feedback speaks for itself and that you will be happy with this item! Please check out the Vintage Clarinet Doctor on Facebook! Why Vintage Clarinets? I believe that vintage clarinets represent one of the most under-priced and underutilized resources on the market. While there is some junk out there, there are many makes and models that are good to excellent players if properly overhauled and that will provide satisfaction to collectors, students and even pro players while saving the buyer hundreds of dollars! Nickel and grenadilla wood are increasingly finite resources and the craftsmanship on some of these old horns makes them a real pleasure to own. Why not try a vintage clarinet from the Vintage Clarinet Doctor see the difference for yourself? Shipping and Returns Shipping is free in the USA or as arranged internationally. I accept checks, wire transfers, Paypal or postal m.o. and ask that you pay within 4 days or the item will be relisted. Paypal ONLY for international bidders.
