The Nobletname, for example, still vital as a brand within the LeblancFrance line, marked its 250th anniversary in the year 2000,and the Frank Holton Company, Leblanc's brasswind division,celebrated its centennial in 1998.

One or theother of them was supposedly lying around the Paris factory as late as the1970s, but no sign of them has been seen or heard since.There was (I believe) only one Octocontrabass built, and threeOctocontraltos.
The BBBb was supposedly the lowest pitched wind instrumentever, going down nearly an octave below the piano keyboard.

Each one of these lines has numerous models of instruments and unfortunately in some cases each model has its own series of serial numbers.Įb Sopranino. We currently manufacture or distribute several brands of wind instruments. Unfortunately our serial numbering system and records were not set up for ease in locating this information. Selmer (Paris) F Basset Horn Who wouldn't think of Mozart and his Requiem when considering this instrument that was also a favourite of Strauss. Selmer (Paris) Eb Alto Clarinet The Selmer 22 Alto Clarinet exhibits all of the characteristics of the Selmer line, a rich tone, great scale. This old picture formerly on the Leblanc site but has since disappeared.
