G LEBLANC, BASSET HORN in F, £4695

This is an excellent condition Leblanc Basset Horn, model 315S, in Grenadilla wood, to low C, which is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. The Buffet and Leblanc Basset Horn designs are essentially modified Alto clarinets, the larger bore favours orchestral use. This instrument is in pristine condition: NO cracks, or damage, with excellent silver plated key work throughout. There are no dents to the crook or bell. The Basset Horn has tan leather pads throughout in superb condition. This instrument will play perfectly out of the box, & the matching serial nos. are 14183. It responds with a large even tone, ideal for Strauss Operas or, as it has been often used, in the Mozart Requiem or Grand Partita for 13 Winds. A comparable Buffet retails today new for £7600. The Vandoren B44 m'piece is in fair condition. The case is in very good condition, and the still wrapped keys to the case are also included.
