The one-piece Vitos are really quite good for what they are. They are
relatively well in tune, and they sustain bump after bump without
noticable problems. I used to play on one in the Bozeman Symphony before
finally buying my Model 33 Selmer (which I then sold for a Buffet
Prestige, which I then upgraded to a newer model Buffet Prestige)....Clark
is right on with his recommendations there!
