| I’ve been wanting to get a lot of info on different vintage trumpets, and have gotten some good info on many companies instruments like Conn and Martin, but I can’t find much about LeBlanc’s different models. I’ve heard they’re good, but I don’t know much about the differences beteen models and which ones are better than the others at what. |

Did you find this spreadsheet?
https://www.trumpet-history.com/Leblanc%20models.htm
It at least gives all the names and features. From there Google is your friend. I've never found one single place describing all the horns well.
I play a Sonic 707, it amazes me that such a horn in perfectly good shape cost only $250 on eBay. Best horn for the money, period. I like it because its super easy in response, hard passages play themselves.

They nade the "Al Hirt" model which I understand is quite good. There were a couple of similar LeBlancs that are highly rated as well.
