Vintage NOBLET E-flat sopranino clarinet from the G. Leblanc workshop in France ; serial #42796
Our clarinet has perfect original nickel plating to the keywork, no cracks to the wood, all new pads and corks..
The "Noblet" models all were built in the LeBlanc workshop in LaCouture, a bit west of Paris. The French workshop closed up a dozen or more years ago, when owner Leon Pascucci sold the firm to "Conn-Selmer division of Steinway Properties".
Lots of Noblet clarinets were sold in the States, almost all of them to schools. Our Eeefer is super-clean, shows no signs of having been school-owned.
This particular instrument is virtually identical to one I used, many years ago in high school and at Wichita University. I strongly recommend it!
*** Clarinet question? DO yes, please write us! Always happy to hear from clari-folks.
