The Leblanc Bliss is a great option for anyone making their first upgrade to a wooden instrument. Designed in conjunction with world renowned clarinettist Julian Bliss, this model is aimed at those wanting to get a serious wooden instrument without breaking the bank.
It's finished beautifully with silver plated keys and black trim but the real star here is the excellent wood quality and professional bore shaping. This is the process of internal crafting and shaping through the body of the instrument and the accuracy and core design principles of this affect whether the instrument is bright, dark, in tune correctly etc. Leblanc (and Bliss) have really worked hard to make this a very even sounding instrument with a beautiful purity to the sound.
Supplied in the original light and portable case, this Leblanc Bliss would make a great buy for an advancing player or serious adult amateur. Please note the instrument comes with the Leblanc Cadenza ebonite mouthpiece, it is starting to show signs of ebonite degradation so we would suggest considering a mouthpiece upgrade.
The outfit is complete with a lightweight yet protective case with exterior pocket for the usual bits and pieces. Our workshops have fully checked and serviced the instrument prior to sale, and it comes with a 6-month warranty.
