Consignment A Leblanc Opus I (Fully Restored)
The Leblanc Opus I A Clarinet is widely regarded as one of the finest professional clarinets ever produced by Leblanc and remains one of the most sought-after models in the company’s history. Developed in the late 1990s by Leblanc Paris, the Opus I combined innovative acoustical design with exceptional craftsmanship to create an instrument celebrated for its projection, tonal depth, and remarkable intonation. With relatively limited production numbers, the Opus I has earned an enduring reputation among professional performers, collectors, and orchestral artists alike.
Constructed from carefully selected unstained grenadilla wood, the Opus I features a precision-engineered polycylindrical bore designed to provide outstanding stability, response, and tonal consistency throughout the full range of the instrument. Its silver-plated keywork, integral raised and tapered tone holes, and Moennig-style inverted taper barrel contribute to a focused, resonant sound with effortless articulation and impressive dynamic flexibility. The instrument’s refined ergonomic design and whisper-quiet mechanism create a playing experience that feels both fluid and secure under the fingers, making it equally responsive in solo, chamber, and orchestral settings.
This outstanding instrument has just undergone a complete professional restoration and is playing at its highest potential. The mechanism has been carefully regulated, pads and sealing surfaces optimized, and the body restored to ensure exceptional response, resonance, and reliability. The result is an instrument that combines the artistry and craftsmanship of a celebrated modern classic with the confidence and consistency demanded by today’s performers. It comes with an aftermarket barrel, and BAM double case in good condition.
