How old is a leblanc clarinet 1669F ? Gary
i dont know you tell me
you can usually find it on the bell and the barrel, sometimes even the ligature that came with it, of your clarinet.
Model, condition?
Insufficient information. Could be a late 40's early 50's Master Model, could be a 1980's E12...could be a number of models! You need to provide more information and some links to pictures.
