Vito (Leblanc) serial numbers
Leblanc's student line, numbered inside the Leblanc log.
Vito was G. Leblanc's student brand, with clarinets made in Kenosha and (later) Japan. The numbers come from the Leblanc log — letter-prefixed windows for the clarinet block — and the archive reads them from that log.

Where is the serial number on a Vito (Leblanc) instrument?
For Saxophones the common location is on the lower body tube near the neck receiver, or at the bell bow — lightly engraved, sometimes two numbers on one horn.
What if my Vito (Leblanc) serial number is not found?
Recheck the characters exactly as marked, including any letters. Letter prefixes often belong to student or stencil lines. Some periods may not be covered yet — every refusal here says why.
