Steve Prescott wrote that Vito is successfully colored clarinets.
I really don't dispute that, but let's talk about quality of
instruments. These are basically colored ebonite clarinet, are
they not? So, basically they are making a few more bucks on
each clarinet they sell, by selling them colored?

What about a wood that sounds good at a reasonable price?
Whatever happenned with the graphite/grenadilla combination that
people were speaking about last May? Did that make any
appearance that the Convention this summer? What is a success,
or a failure--or too soon to tell?

BTW has anyone seen the clear plastic clarinet that Buffet has
for sale?
