LeBlanc Bass Clarinet (used) $2000 obo

by Jacqueline
(staten island, ny, usa)

hello my name is jackie and i'm selling my bass clarinet.

bell on the bottom is a little warped from time and it is gold - i stripped the silver because it was starting to tarnish from age, might need a pad or two (it plays fine for me to this day) and a cleaning. The body is two pieces, wood, stained traditional black. LeBlanc, France, i can give sereal numbers and pictures of course. it is old and has an incredible round sound. I don't have the peg for the bottom. I balanced it on my foot, I know it was a bad habit but it worked for me.
Cork grease, 3 used mouth pieces included too (i can sanitize them). Also includes unused #3 reeds, a metal bi folding music stand, 1 or two marching lires.... basically everything you need to play it out of the case. i even have random sheet music if you want to practice other things on your own.
its coming from staten island, ny - we can split shipping.
I used it Jr. High School - College, my parents bought it for me used in worse condition, I fixed it up alot. I know I'm going to regret selling my bass but it is time for me to give it to a player who needs it. it is a little banged up, but everything works and plays out of the case (which you can also have of course). its a beautiful instrument, and i know new they go for quite more than what I'm asking.

It played at Madison Square Garden cheering on various college teams, it went to Broadway and played a few shows, it went to Vermont and played in church symphonic orchestras, it also played in NY City Wide Band. I love this instrument, but selling it will help me more than playing as a job.

$2000 or best offer - stores and schools are welcome to buy it too, but I'd rather give it directly to someone who needs it. Ideally, I'd rather donate it to a school but I paid/worked my way through college and desperately need this help at this point in my life. if you would like to see it please let me know, if you know someone else who is looking please also let me know. from one musician to another, please help me.

please contact me if you or someone you know wants to buy it.
