Just getting started.
Hi, everybody! I'm doing this for my son who's in fourth grade and a friend who's been playing over 40 years. My friend also does repairs and overhauls on saxes, flutes and clarinets.
My name is Bernie Herbst and I think I may try to play as my friend Jack gave me a Cundy-Bettoney Cadet to strip and clean and rebuild, then to learn to play. I'm an older dad and love all kinds of music, I play guitar and piano.
The reason why I'm writing today is the Leblanc Vito V-40 clarinet, I've been totally unsuccessful in finding a range of retail prices for it. Today Conn-Selmer told me they took no historical information from LeBlanc USA when they purchased the company in 2003. My web searches have yielded a little information, such as bore size 14.85mm and the clarinet is thought of very well as a good to better instrument. Maybe a manufacturing time line of 1951 to 2003. I am sure of nothing at all beside the bore size and opinions.
I look forward to getting my friend to join as well and reading everything you all post about woodwinds so I may learn more.
