Thanks to Tom Y for letting me review this instrument! The 'three-cornered hat' designation is my own. I don’t know what name Leblanc used when they marketed this clarinet. Would it have been an early Symphony model? See the later model below which is called an LL model. Serial #15905 Barrel: 65.8mm Bore LH joint top: 14.7mm Bore LH joint at bottom: 14.7mm Intonation summary: I play too flat to be able to use the 65.8mm barrel. Using my 64.2mm barrel I was almost in tune. My impression is that this would have excellent intonation for pre-poly-cylindrical bore clarinets. The low A was only 10 cents sharp. Key work quality: Top rate. Note that this has the independent posts for the right-pinkie Ab/Eb key. This clarinet is most appropriate for: anyone, including serious students and advanced players. Condition issues noted: None. The three-cornered hat model may be the LL Model. This picture was from an eBay listing which had this information:
