The newest Pete Fountain model is the embodiment of the rich musical landscape of the city for which it was named. Pete collaborated with Leblanc to produce numerous design enhancements that give the Big Easy even greater flexibility, more accurate intonation and better note-bending ability than its acclaimed predecessors. Players will find that this model sounds as good on the symphony stage as it does on Bourbon Street—its unique distribution of overtones allows effortless blending in ensemble playing while also providing a vividly expressive solo voice. Most important, this new Fountain model gives Pete plenty of the famous “fat” tone that has become his trademark. Says Pete, “True to its name, I find this horn easy to play, and it has a fantastic scale line from bottom to top. I don’t even to have think about it—this clarinet just sings.”

LEBLANC L1607 LeBlanc History ^top

From Eb soprano to contrabass, new Leblanc USA clarinets offer a combination of unparalleled quality, easy playability and innovative design considerations that allows students to learn and succeed quickly. Leblanc USA soprano clarinets feature a cushioned, adjustable thumb rest and are fully outfitted for the serious student.

For decades, Vito clarinets set the standard for student clarinets, and four Bb soprano models now comprise this line.

On all Leblanc USA and Vito clarinets, undercut tone holes provide for uniform response and excellent tonal emission throughout the entire range. Power-forged nickel-silver keys provide maximum strength and a crisp, positive feel. Unique in-line “Jump” trill keys put pads in direct vertical contact with their tone holes and the nuisance of water “gurgle” is virtually eliminated. Balanced key suspension and natural positioning of keys and spatulas provide every Leblanc USA and Vito with lightning-fast key action that encourages the player's agility and confidence.

All Leblanc USA and Vito Bb soprano clarinets feature the exclusive Positive Radial Alignment Guide, or PRAG (U.S. patent 5,000,072) to ensure the proper alignment of the instrument's upper and lower joints, crucial to clarinet performance. In addition, all Leblanc USA and Vito clarinets feature a new seven-year manufacturer's warranty against joint cracking or breaking, now the best warranty of its kind in the industry.
