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 Symphonie (model LB120B) is the main professional performing 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 Symphonie 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 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. The Symphonie 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. The Symphonie includes 2 of the Backun Ringless model barrels effectively giving the player 2 completely different playing instrument styles.
