The LeBlanc L60 Bass Clarinet is an exciting instrument whose performance well exceeds its price. It has been praised for its large, robust sound, evenness of response throughout all the registers and consistent intonation. Designed for playability and dependability, the L60 features an aged and unstained grenadilla wood body with a professional, hand-hammered bell and heavily plated nickel or silver keys. Other major features include a responsive Steelite Ebonite mouthpiece, a great sealing corked tenon neck, a dependable single register key mechanism as well as the centered and powerful sound that results from the complex bore and expertly undercut tone holes.
