I'm not that picky. I've even been known to play sopranino sax,
and garklein ;-) For that matter, I have three bass guitars (4 string,
5 string, and acoustic), and am currently working on string bass (my
anniversary present from my wonderful wife!).
Enjoy!

Last I heard, it was a very vague "maybe sometime in 2005 or
2006."
Simon, any updates?

Hi all-
I wanted to alert everyone that I listed a very nice set of
Leblanc contras (contra alto and contra bass) on eBay this evening. You
can view them at:

The clarinet (or clarionet) is named so because it can play in the
"clarion" register. In this register the existing naming is correct.

I've been receiving all messages, but what I write, does not
seem to come trough. When I wrote about bassett clarinets, there
was at the same time going on a discussion about bassett clarinet,
asking questions that already was answered in my text, and I got error
messages that it was delayed.

Matt S.,
Why are the cases for your ebay contras one-piece? In my
experience, those instruments break apart in the middle and fit into
much more compact cases. Can these instruments break apart and be
put into such cases? Is there anything about them that is
different from today's Leblanc straight contras?

Hi there-
These are the cases that were supplied. When I purchased these
instruments from Leblanc (as part of their museum collection, where
they had been on display outside of their cases), they didn't have any
cases, and I didn't expect any cases to come with them, but they
managed to find these and put them in it. So a little protection is
better than none. Thanks!
