Apply that to Serial #100-1400, = 1300 total, and you have 750 as an adjusted, estimated quantity ever made. I suggest that: 94/186 is about a 50% sample rate. I would conclude that the dating of LeBlancs was inconsistent! These are far more rare than "1,500" out there. Some sax forum rumors discuss that there were less than 1500 of these made(alto and tenor). Of the 186 we have documented, only 30 are these "Model 120" tenors (64 were altos "Model 100"). Meier, at the time of this post, we have traced about 185 LeBlanc/Vito/Beaugnier saxes from serial numbers #100-1400. With extensive research, there have been original receipts of a #549 purchased in 1963, thus, my era guess on this one is ~1960-70. It's pretty safe to say that its era is in the range of 1963-1972.

post construction (some are brazed directly on the body!)Ĭonfession: Serial number dating information on these is a bit low considering how cool these are, I wish we sax-community members would build this one up along with all the variations that I've seen. screw + locking nut adjusters ALL there! The Leblanc has a strong individual voice and speaks extremely well, one of the great advantages of the system is that normally stuffy notes like middle D and E speak with a clear open voice - the uniformity throughout the range is simply achievable in any other horn.

In Sarge's words: "This is an amazing and rare pro horn with the unique Leblanc mechanism, where the G# tone hole is at the rear and all the front pads remain open - the fingerings possible on a Leblanc are far more versatile than a conventional sax allowing for easier transitions in what are usually difficult passages - as well as multiple false fingerings and a greater range of altissimo fingerings. I have seen multiple variations on this model as they may have made changes along the design (different neck emblems, octave keys., most notable - You can compare it to Sarge's Collection LeBlanc too at #513 it had a different neck altogether! I won't list all of those.) The design with intonation and evenness with tonehole venting was also so engineered that it has mass amounts of screw adjusters (Add $300+ to a rebuild price for such more pads, more adjustments like a Conn 26M/30M.). Data would suggest that there were less than 750 (alto and tenor) ever made.

One of the coolest saxophones ever made! - Made to solve most all of the "saxophone issues" such as stuffy notes, trouble intonation areas and note passages. Serial Number: 790 ***Highest tenor number on file!.
