 LEBLANC ALTO CLARINET IN GRENADILLA

This is a Leblanc,. Professional  model, Grenadilla wood Alto Clarinet. The condition of the Nickel Silver plating is good, about 85%, with the wear mainly on the ring touch pieces. The sleeved, adjustable crook is in good condition, with no dings or dents. The bell has one dent to the base which has not deformed the shape of the low Eb hole, and does not affect the response, there are also a few light scratches. There are two old pinned, glued crack repairs to the upper joint, [see photo 5].  We have checked for seal in our workshop, as this instrument is a commission sale, and all is well with the repair. In addition a couple of pads were replaced, the mechanism regulated & a tenon cork replaced.  The tan leather pads are now in excellent condition throughout. This instrument has been professionally used for ensemble work, as part  of a clarinet quartet, and it has been replaced by a Basset Horn.  The mouthpiece is a Vandoren B44 in excellent condition. The case is in good used condition, it latches well, there is no wear to the interior but a large white stencil on the exterior!
