Leblanc, L200, B Flat Clarinet
This is a rare L200, professional model Leblanc Paris Bb clarinet. The L200 was the third model of the L7/L27/L200/L300 series, which were Leblanc's tapered bore upper joint models, and were introduced in the early 1970's.
This Leblanc L200 Bb clarinet is in fair condition, and is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct, having come to us via the widow of saxophone & clarinet player here in the UK. The clarinet has matching serial nos. 52783, and ha had much professional use. The silver plate on this instrument shows some wear, mainly to the "pinky" keys and rings, and also some verdigris. The wood has no cracks or damage. The pads are a mixture of lightly used, and new tan leather, all in excellent condition. All pieces are matching and original with Leblanc stamps. The case shows some exterior stains but is sturdy and protects the clarinet well. This instrument would suit a player looking for a budget priced top professional French made clarinet.
