Reliable construction
To ensure your clarinet gives a reliable performance, the LCL211S Debut Clarinet is made from Reso-tone ABS, rather than wood. Whereas wood can expand and contract in the heat - meaning the clarinet's performance largely depends on the environment - ABS is resistant to any changes in temperature. This means the Leblanc Debut clarinet will give a consistent performance, no matter where you're playing. Lots of musicians prefer ABS for playing outside for example, or in warm concert halls, for this reason.
Working in partnership with the body is the silver-plated keywork, which has been manufactured and applied with precision, meaning the LCL211S clarinet has great intonation and requires very little maintenance thanks to such a thoughtful design. The fact that the keys are silver-plated means they will stay in pristine condition. You'll also be able to enjoy a quick and easy response thanks to the ringless bell design, giving student clarinettists the chance to get to know their way around the instrument without having to worry about forcing the sound.
All in the details
Leblanc has created an instrument with premium features for an affordable price. Examples of these include the blue steel springs, which you'll find on more expensive models, as well as the premium quality Valentino synthetic pads. These protect the Debut Bb clarinet and give smooth playability, allowing you to glide across all registers with an easy response.
Adapt the LCL211S so that it works for you. The adjustable thumb rest means you can find the most comfortable hand position - and this might change as you advance, so your clarinet will be able to keep up. Overall, the Debut Clarinet is lightweight - thanks to the ABS body - so you'll find that it's comfortable to play, even for the duration of long rehearsals. If you do need to make things easier though, there's a ring to attach a neck strap to distribute the weight.
Everything you need
The LCL211S comes packed with everything you need in a backpack style case. This case is lightweight and durable, meaning it's ideal for carrying on the bus to school, protecting your clarinet against any knocks or bumps. The backpack straps also make it easier to carry when you're walking to rehearsals or school. The LCL211S clarinet also comes with a mouthpiece and ligature, so you can start practising straight away.
About Leblanc
The history of Leblanc dates right back to 1750 in France - the centre of woodwind manufacturing. The Leblanc family was known for using scientific acoustic research when developing their clarinets. To this day, Leblanc is known for the level of detail and precision in the development and manufacturing process. This is consistent across the full range of student clarinets, which often boast premium features and playability not typically associated with student instruments. The team at Leblanc, in keeping with the brand's reputation for innovation and thoughtful design, are always on the lookout for new ways to improve their instruments.
