Re: Leblanc Sax Serial Number Regestry

I have just brought a Leblanc system tenor- serial number 505.
The locks on the original case are knackered. I am looking to get another case for it but it is a big sax. Can anyone let me know whether there is a modern case that this sax with fit?

My list seems to have made 1000 serial numbers plus or minus a couple.....

What's the highest serial number you have for a Leblanc 100 Alto? Unclear from comments section. I know the serials go up into the 15xx range, at least, from what I've encountered.

Ok, thx for the serial info. When I get around to it, I'll see if I can dig up any 15xx or higher serials for you. Could be a while, but it's now on the list of to do stuff.

Thank you, all help on this project is always appreciated. To me this is a community project. Everyone should be free to use the information in however they wish.

Hi,

Re: Leblanc Sax Serial Number Regestry

Mine is a Semi Rationnel engraved SR on bell, serial 200, SR-200 on body to bow join. I don't know year.

Hi,

Please allow me to add my contribution to this list:

Leblanc Le Rationnel R-62, it has the G# on the back and open Low C# tonehole, with the D trill. not the most complex versions yet i'm still figuring out all the possibilities.

best of luck in compiling this monumental list

 

[RogerD]

So, what is the current ratio of altos to tenors?

 

[RogerD]

just acquired an alto 615, looks, smells like its been in a basement for 50 years
I tried to upload the sheet that came with it explaining how to use alternative fingering not sure it will upload a pdf

View attachment leblancSheet1.pdf View attachment leblancSheet2.pdf View attachment leblancSheet3.pdf View attachment leblancSheet4.pdf

 

[RogerD]

looks like it worked

Also I see there is both a 120 and 125 tenor, anyone know the difference?

Yes, that's a difference of 5. :joker:

 

[RogerD]

thanks for the education... been a while since I been in skool

 

[FremontSax]

interesting I never saw that before....

I have seen a Leblanc Tenor that I had assumed was a Model 120 but it had a chrome finish on the bell. Perhaps it was a Model 125.

hello all, very interesting saxes, and i'd love to get hold of a rationnel, but what I do have are a leblanc system (I suppose) alto - NO high g# - but adjustment screws and locking screws for the adjustment screws (good grief). the front f is a tiny little silvered sliver. serial 235 in lacquer and nickle. AND a vito 35 (alto) in lacquer with almost no engraving - all adjustments done with cork, like a saxophone. this is definitely a beaugnier, but probably assembled in USA. both really good saxes - the vito is rather warmer, and the necks are NOT interchangeable, the vito is a wider bore. vito serial 2535A. no real idea as to the dates involved, I bought them both this year. does anyone else have knowledge of a leblanc with no high g#? the vito has one in that peculiar and difficult place above the little finger table.

 

[FremontSax]

hey Pete, For the Leblanc Alto, Serial Number below 419 don't seem to have high F# tone holes.
