The year 2004 marked one of the most significant milestones in the long history
of Kenosha, Wisconsin-based Leblanc, Inc., known until recently as G. Leblanc
Corporation. On July 21, 2004, contracts were signed for Leblanc to be acquired
by Steinway Musical Instruments, forging a partnership of undisputed greatness
within the music industry. The transaction was completed on August 12, 2004.
Leon Pascucci retained his key management role as president of Leblanc, Inc.,
and the company is now managed as a division of Conn-Selmer, Inc.

Other recent milestones have also marked Leblanc's centuries-old history and
traditions. The Noblet name, for example, still vital as a brand within the
Leblanc France line, marked its 250th anniversary in the year 2000, and the
Frank Holton Company, Leblanc's brasswind division, celebrated its centennial in
1998. G. Leblanc Corporation itself, founded in 1946, marked the beginning of a
new era of vigorous leadership in 2003 when Leon Pascucci assumed the primary
management role upon the death of his father, Vito Pascucci.

Since its modest beginnings in America as a two-man shop, the company grew to a
position of international prominence under the leadership of its cofounders,
L%uFFFDon Leblanc (1900-2000) and Vito Pascucci (1922-2003). The
Kenosha-headquartered corporation employs a family of some 300 workers at three
sites in Wisconsin (two in Kenosha, one in Elkhorn) and about 40 workers in La
Couture-Boussey, France.

The story of Leblanc's inception and ultimate growth is one of the most
captivating and well known in the music industry; the stuff of which, as the
saying goes, legends are made.

French roots. Leblanc in America traces its origins to the founding of Ets. D.
Noblet of France in 1750, when the great flourishing of instrumental music at
the court of Louis XV created a demand for musical instruments of all kinds.
More than any other instrument manufacturer, Noblet refined and developed early
woodwind manufacturing techniques, securing for the French nation its preeminent
reputation for producing the best wind instruments in the world. Based in La
Couture-Boussey for two and a half centuries, it is among the oldest
continuously operating companies in France.

In 1904, having no heirs, the Noblet family passed its holdings to Georges
Leblanc, descendant of a long line of distinguished French instrument makers. By
the time he acquired Noblet, Georges Leblanc had gained a reputation as one of
the finest woodwind makers in France. The workshop at the Leblanc headquarters
in Paris became a meeting place of the great woodwind artists of the era.
Working side by side with Georges was his wife, Clemence, who actually managed
the factory while Georges fought during World War I.

From the beginning, the Leblancs were constantly guided by scientific principles
and inspired by their inborn musical genius. As a result of this relentless
dedication toward progress, Georges Leblanc and his son, Leon, set up their
Paris workshop as the first full-time acoustical research laboratory for wind
instruments. They recruited the talents of Charles Houvenaghel, regarded at the
time as the greatest acoustician since Adolphe Sax.

The subsequent growth and success of G. Leblanc Cie. as a manufacturing entity
was largely due to the work of Leon Leblanc, who in addition to his reputation
as an instrument maker and businessman, was also a gifted clarinetist, holder of
the first prize of the Paris Conservatoire, the first and only instrument maker
to have held such an honor.

He had before him a brilliant career as a concert clarinetist, but chose instead
to remain true to his heritage, feeling that he could make a greater
contribution to music by combining the talents and sensitivities he developed as
a musician with his skills as an instrument maker.

Together, Georges, Leon and Houvenaghel pushed the theoretical limits of
instrument design to produce the first truly playable complete clarinet choir,
ranging from sopranino to octo-contrabass, encompassing a range that surpasses
that of the orchestral string sections. Perhaps even more significant, the
Leblanc firm was the first instrument maker in history to manufacture clarinets
with interchangeable keys, resulting in instruments that were easier to play in
tune by artists as well as beginners.


NOBLET SAXOPHONE SERIAL NUMBERS LOOKUP

As Leon Leblanc once noted, 'Musicians of today should not be handicapped by the
deficiencies of those before me. Acoustical, mechanical and musical improvements
will be made. To this end, I have dedicated my life.' Monsieur Leblanc served as
chairman of the American company and president honoraire of the French firm
until his death in 2000 at the age of 99.

The history of Leblanc in Kenosha, Wisconsin, dates to the last months of World
War II and a chance meeting between Leon Leblanc and Vito Pascucci.

.The American connection. Born in Kenosha, Vito Pascucci showed a marked
interest in music and played cornet in the Kenosha High School band. He became
fascinated with the construction and design of musical instruments and learned
their repair as a summer apprentice at the Frank Holton Company (the Elkhorn,
Wisconsin, brass-instrument manufacturer that Leblanc would later acquire), and
then, while still in high school, augmented his family's income by operating an
instrument-repair shop at his brother's music store.

In 1943, Pascucci was called into the armed forces. His instrument-repair skills
were rewarded when he was assigned as a trumpeter and repairman to Army Field
Bands, then to the Army Air Corps Band, led by Glenn Miller. He began with the
Miller band in New Haven, Connecticut, then traveled with them to Europe.
Stationed in England, Pascucci and Miller formed plans to set up a chain of
music stores after the war.

Miller's untimely death put an end to those plans, but when the band was sent to
newly liberated France, Vito paid a visit to G. Leblanc Cie., and his guide that
day was Leon Leblanc. After service discharge in 1946, Pascucci returned to
Kenosha, where Mr. Leblanc asked him to establish a foothold for the French
company in America.

A shop for the purpose of disassembling, climatizing and reassembling wood
instruments was set up as part of the new firm. After shipment to America by sea
(and later by air), the wood was allowed to stabilize under the new atmospheric
conditions, and the instruments were restored to original factory
specifications, reassembled, adjusted and thoroughly tested.

Thus the instrument retailer was assured that wood clarinets would be delivered
in perfect playing condition. Discriminating clarinetists were assured that
every instrument would be musically as well as mechanically correct. And band
directors were assured that the instruments their students played would possess
a harmonious timbre, have correct intonation and be free of mechanical
deficiencies.

Soon, in the 1950s, due to an ever-growing school market, demand for Leblanc
instruments in the United States was far greater than the French concern could
meet, so Leblanc began producing plastic-bodied clarinets in Kenosha.

The Vito line of musical instruments was thus born, thrusting Leblanc to the
forefront of the student clarinet market. In 1951, construction of Leblanc's
Kenosha factory was completed, a plant that to this day provides a model for the
industry in its modern equipment, efficient operation and attractive appearance.
Ever-increasing production called for the factory's subsequent expansion in
1953, 1960 and 1966. In 1999, Leblanc added 37,000 square feet of modern
manufacturing and warehousing space to its Kenosha headquarters, bringing even
greater flow and efficiency to its work flow.

Through the years, Leblanc's staff developed innovative methods that brought the
production of plastic-bodied instruments to then unknown levels of accuracy and
consistency. Rough-cut body blanks of a specially formulated plastic called
Resotone were crafted into clarinets with the same care that wood instruments
were afforded, rather than merely injection-molding the finished clarinet joints
as some other manufacturers were doing at the time.

Unique precision boring machines simultaneously bored out the plastic body
blanks, drilled tone holes and the holes for keyposts. Developed internally,
these drilling machines enhanced consistency and efficiency manyfold. If all
their operations were to be performed separately, it would have been impossible
to achieve Leblanc's legendary consistency and precision in construction. These
machines revolutionized the way plastic clarinets were made, and today, have
been replaced by even more sophisticated CNC drilling machines.

In 2004, a new line of student woodwinds was introduced bearing the Leblanc USA
brand, a marketing shift that now allows clarinetists to play 'Leblanc for
life.'

Decades of growth. In 1964, Leblanc acquired the Frank Holton Company, located
in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, one of America's most prestigious brass-instrument
manufacturers. With this acquisition, Leblanc not only gained the revered Holton
name, but procured the priceless experience of the craftsmen who had worked
there many years prior.

Holton's famed Collegiate line made Leblanc a major presence in the school
brasswind market, and this student-priced line then and still does set the
school standard. With the acquisition, Leblanc also gained a friend in Philip
Farkas, one of the world's leading hornists and teachers. The line of
instruments to which the late Mr. Farkas still lends his name comprises the
world's bestselling student and professional French horns.

In 1968, Leblanc acquired the Woodwind Company, a respected manufacturer of
clarinet and saxophone mouthpieces. Under the guidance of G. Leblanc
Corporation, the Woodwind Company brand is widely recognized for the excellence
of its manufacture and performance.

The Martin Band Instrument Company was acquired by Leblanc in 1971 from the
Wurlitzer company and was relocated to Kenosha from Elkhart, Indiana. Martin,
founded in Chicago, would have been America's oldest continuously operating
band-instrument manufacturer if not for the Great Chicago Fire. The famous
Committee trumpet, favored by Wallace Roney, Chris Botti and other top jazz
artists, and the innovative Urbie Green trombone both carry the legendary Martin
name, made in a progressive, modern plant.

On January 1, 1981, Leblanc was granted the exclusive rights to market
Yanagisawa artist saxophones in the United States and Canada. Considered the
most technically advanced saxophones made, Yanagisawa instruments are played by
some of the world's foremost saxophonists.

In April, 1989, Leblanc USA acquired majority interest in the esteemed French
firm and assumed responsibility for its management.

A new generation. Leon Pascucci (namesake of Leon Leblanc) joined his father at
Leblanc in 1971, serving in various capacities throughout the company's
operations. In 1991 he was named president, and in 2001 he became chief
executive officer. The shareholders of G. Leblanc Corporation, meeting the week
after Vito Pascucci's death, named Leon Pascucci to the position of board
chairman on August 28, 2003.

In addition to his many years of service to Leblanc, the younger Pascucci has
volunteered his services to numerous organizations, both locally and within the
music industry.

Pascucci currently serves on the boards of the Music Distributors Association,
the NAMM Museum of Making Music, the American Music Conference, the National
Bandmasters Association and the Berklee College of Music Board of Visitors. He
is a past president of the National Association of Band Instrument Manufacturers
and a past board member of NAMM, the International Music Products Association.

Pascucci is also well known for his design abilities, which he has applied to
Leblanc's exhibits at NAMM, to the company's offices and factories, and to a
gallery of miniature interiors, which have been nationally published. What's
more, Leblanc's new student clarinet case is a reflection of Leon's design
sense.

A look behind, a look ahead. In the years since its inception, Leblanc has
earned a solid reputation as an innovator in instrument design, manufacturing
technique, modern marketing programs and award-winning national advertising
campaigns.

Even more important, no other manufacturer can offer as wide a selection of
brass and woodwind instruments crafted with the same integrity and dedication to
excellence as does Leblanc. Through all stages of the company's growth,
advancement and acquisitions, it has never lost sight of the principles on which
it was founded. Long ago, Georges Leblanc established the basic tenets of
integrity, musicianship and creativity for his firms to live by. At Leblanc,
Inc., these principles still live on, propelling the company into the 21st
century.

Since 1750, Leblanc has been and remains committed to the highest standards of
excellence, all in the service of musicians and of music itself.
