The new Leblanc line of
clarinets designed by clarinet master Morrie Backun represents the
newest choice for professional clarinets. Backun Barrels are used by
some of the most prestigious clarinetist in the world. Bringing his
expertise to help design this line of clarinets has yielded the most
impressive clarinet choices that we have ever seen.
The
Legacy (model LB110B) is
the top end professional model in this line of clarinets.
The clarinet is completely
made in the USA by Leblanc. The Barrels are made in Canada by Backun.
Voicing is done at Backun in Canada and
the project's quality standards are
measured by Morrie Backun himself. This
line of clarinets does not just bear his
name and use his barrels. Morrie is the
chief designer of this line of
clarinets. He kept only 1 key from
Leblanc... and redesigned everything
else.
The
Legacy model has several unique
features. One, it uses the Backun
Ringless barrels. They provide a very
big and warm tone. The bore is uniquely
designed by Morrie Backun and has
excellent tone and response. The tone
hole chimneys are not a straight taper
but rather have their own bores to
optimize tone projection.
The Legacy
lines several of the keys with acoustic
foam similar to what is used in
professional studios. Morrie found that
certain notes will create a harmonic
vibration on several keys that would
generate very small sympathetic tones.
The foam eliminates these tones making
only the sound generated by the player
and the clarinet heard causing the
player and audience to get the purest
sound available.
The lower
joint tone holes are also smoothed out,
similar to how a high end flute
headjoints are "overcut" to allow for
smoother air escape from the body.
The octave
vent uses a "Voicing Pin" that changes
the direction in which the air escapes
the octave vent. This pin (made from
hard delrin) allows for the air to
escape without hitting the pad. This
translates into a cleaner and clearer
tone in the upper register of the
clarinet. Combined with the Voicing
Grove in the bell (this grove causes a
little air to flow back into the air
stream of the clarinet, making more air
come out of the tone holes and the
register key), this system really
improves tone over the break as well as
upper register performance.
The
Legacy is also setup to make it a
very worry free clarinet. Every pivot
screw has a set lock screw at the top of
its key post. This screw prevents the
pivot screw from ever backing out. The
clarinet does come with the needed tool
for technicians to loosen this screw
when needed. The Symphonie is also setup
with a specially formulated Valentino
pad the ensures a secure pad seat that
maintains better then most skin pads.
The clarinet
has multiple fine tune adjusting screws
throughout and comes with the wrench
needed to do these adjustments with
ease.
Included is
a custom reed case made by Backun. The
Legacy is shipped in a double clarinet
case (Bb & A). Since the case can only
accomodate 2 barrels and 2 bells (which
you receive with the Bb), there are
future plans to sell just the upper and
lower joint for an A clarinet seperately.
This way, you can use your existing
barrels and bells and case, this
lowering the cost of the A.
The
Symphone includes 2 of
the Backun Traditional model barrels (retail $255 Each) as well as 2
different bells (Retail $705 Each). This
effectively gives you 6 different
playing combinations from one
instrument.
