I just recently received a leblanc noblet #27 clarinet. I attend high school and my teacher says he`d rather me purchase an E11. The guy i`m borrowing this from said it`s a professional instrument and i`m hearing that the E11 is an intermediate. I`ve been playing for about 8 years but i really need advice on this. Is there a difference between the two? The one i have and the E11 i would buy are both made of grenadilla wood but what`s the difference between them? Is one better than the other?

Try posting this in the clarinet forum. They`ll probably have more info.
