Leblanc has stopped making artist's instruments, a sad fate for one of the finest clarinet makers with a noble history. But among the last of its extraordinary clarinets is the Leblanc by Backun Symphonie, one of which I'm pleased to own and play. The wood is beautiful, the keywork innovative without being strange under the fingers, and the Backun design, of the instrument itself and the two barrels and bell, inspired and inspiring. I'm using a 64mm Vandoren Masters CL4, which suits the clarinet very well. Projection, depth of tone, and intonation are all excellent--and everything just feels right. If you can find one, it's well worth trying.I met Morrie Backun many years ago, as a beginner, and he spent nearly an hour with me helping me choose a barrel and bell. Morrie just loves clarinets (and I guess clarinetists, too, because he's generous with his time and advice). Even if you don't play a Backun horn, available now from Morrie in a range that covers students and world-class musicians, consider a barrel, a bell, or both. They're capable of transforming a good instrument into a great one!
