Noblets are apparently an intermediate level clarinet made by leblanc(yay google). I don't know much about them, but it's probably a reputable brand. I don't specifically know of anyone who plays on one, though.

I have a Noblet and a couple Buffets. The Noblet is a great horn, much better made than most other student horns. I recommend an older Noblet over a Buffet E-11.

they aren't very rare. You could buy a new one today as they are still in production. They are also always on eBay.
They are Leblancs Intermediate line, just they aren't as popular as the mass marketed Selmer USA clarinets (though Selmer USA markets the Leblans, Noblets and Normandys too)

i've owned a Noblet since my 2nd year of playing (and overseas we started two years later than everyone in the US), so i've had mine for about 5 years now and its still in great condition. i bought it used so i actually have no clue how old it is.

I recently sold my 1967 Noblet 45. It was a very nice instrument, much nicer than the newer ones. It had some Leblanc level professional attributes such as pinned spatula keys; a nice reddish bell; and it sounded very spread and yet sweet. I also have a 1971 (or 91) Noblet 45. But the older ones are a tad nicer.

I used to have a wooden Noblet clarinet before I bought an R13. It had a really lovely warm centred tone. However, the intonation was very poor and some of the keywork was not positioned well for fast technical work. It would be a good instrument for an intermediate player not looking to be graded on performance but wants that classically focused sound.

Noblet was the Intermediate line
Normandy - student
Noblet - intermediate
LeBlanc - pro
The noblets are like any other clarinet - if not setup properly their intonation can be squirrely.
Ergonomic-wise any clarinet can or may not fit ppls hands. FWIW, my hands don't fit Eaton clarinets but I wouldn't say that they are not good at fast passages - I just can't play them.
Pro level clarinets are normally "clearer" on altissimo notes and improved intonation, etc. But intermediates are really good instruments generally speaking.

I think that Noblet is a great instrument for beginners, but I have only tried very old "Noblet artist" clarinets, so what do I know?
I recommend Buffet.

I've started playing with Noblet clarinets, donīt know which model. Iīve played with them for about 15 years, before a switched to a Buffet E-11. They are quite nice instruments, somewhat heavier than my Buffet, which isnīt surprisingly. Didnīt notice a significant difference between my current clarinet and the Noblet I used to play with. About 8 years ago, my band started purchasing some Buffet, models E-11 and E-13, to replace the Noblet ones, nevertheless they still play a very important role in my band as they are used in the school band.
