Noblet, by Leblanc, Artist, C Clarinet
This is a Noblet Artist C Clarinet, made by Leblanc, in very good condition. This instrument is the professional Artist model 45 Noblet clarinet, with all parts made of finest unstained Grenadilla wood, unlike some of the cheaper models in the Noblet range. The matching serial nos. are 93637, making this a late production model. The nickel plate is in very good condition, with only some slight tranish to LH E/B. The Grenadilla wood is in fine condition throughout with no cracks or damage. The instrument has used fish skin pads, which are sealing well. The bore, in common with all other Leblanc made C clarinets, is 14.50mm. The instrument tunes well with the supplied Buffet mouthpiece, but will also play well with any modern standard French bore m'piece. This means most players can play their regular Bb m'piece successfully. The plush lined case is in very good condition. In summation; this is a fine tuning C, an entry level professional model, which would match well with the finest French instruments currently available.
