Vintage 1969 LeBlanc Noblet 45 Grenadilla Wood Bb Clarinet (SN: 85207) - Includes Rare Vintage Sumner Acousticut 3* Mouthpiece

Up for sale is a beautiful vintage 1969 LeBlanc Noblet 45 Bb clarinet, crafted from premium Grenadilla wood in France. The Noblet 45 is highly regarded as a top-tier intermediate to "upper-intermediate" instrument, loved for its warm, professional tonal quality and robust French keywork.

This specific instrument has a rich, active playing history and has been exceptionally well-cared for:

• Body: Natural Grenadilla wood structure. Solid and in good condition with no visible cracks.
• Service History: The clarinet was completely refurbished and overhauled in 1998. It was played consistently up until 2021, ensuring the mechanism stayed fluid and active. It was professionally serviced and adjusted again in 2019 to maintain peak playability.
• Condition: The keys and mechanisms operate smoothly. Because it has been played infrequently since 2021, it may benefit from a standard bench check or minor adjustments by a technician to suit your personal playing preferences, but it is a structurally sound, clean, and beautiful vintage instrument.

• Included Mouthpieces: This package includes two vintage mouthpieces. The primary piece is a highly desirable, rare W.S. Sumner Professional Acousticut 3* vintage hard-rubber mouthpiece. Known for its exceptional resonance, rich overtones, and beautiful tonal spectrum, this mouthpiece is highly sought after by vintage gear enthusiasts and players alike. A secondary vintage Rivoli mouthpiece is also included to serve as a reliable backup piece.
• Case & Extras: Comes securely housed in a protective hard-shell case with a ligature, mouthpiece cap and a variety of unused Vandoren, Michael Lure, and Rico Royal reeds.

Perfect for an advancing student, an amateur adult player, or a woodwind doubler looking for a classic French-made wooden clarinet without paying professional-tier prices.
