Description: Here's a lovely c.1950 vintage 'D. Noblet' model Bb Boehm system clarinet by Leblanc of Paris. It is made of fine grenadilla wood with solid nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, with a large bore of .585". All pieces are original, no cracks or repairs. This is supposedly the 'step-down' from Leblanc's pro models, but it would be hard to tell, especially on the earlier D. Noblet instruments, easily distinguishable by the oval, Buffet style cartouche.Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, swedged and countersunk, body, keys and posts buffed, new white Roo leather pads and key/tenon corks installed. This well made clarinet is in great shape for its age and has a warm, open tone with good intonation and comfortable ergonomics. Comes with original case in solid condition, with a cool Shriner's emblem :-) 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 NC and have restored many instruments for sale on ebay. I believe that my 20 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.
