Julian Bliss explores the heritage of Leblanc clarinets. How a classic was made.

Thank you Julian for this lovely video I love your playing and Zi wish you much success with Leblanc clarinets. I have an LL Leblanc bass clarinet to low C from the 1960s as well as one in C. It was a great pity that they went out of production. Leblanc had an amazing range of clarinets which no other manufacturer produced. A few years ago a student bought a Bliss clarinet which vet much improved his playing in so many ways! I wish you much success with your new range of clarinets. Julian. God bless you and yours. Bill.

Odd, Leblancs were made in the USA for quite a long time even before the buyout, they used to be made in Kenosha WI. I have a old Vito Resitone 3 from Kenosha plant, old beastie takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. New ones look fancy and fun, but frankly the longevity of the LeBlancs means you don't really need to be upgrading all the time, they'll last you a lifetime if you care for them properly.
