|I found something interesting at a garage sale yesterday. It's a Vito
|Reso-tone, but it's bright red! I thought about buying it, but can't really
|afford it right now unless I know that it's worth more than my sick desire
|to own a red clarinet for reasons unknown even to me.
|
|Has anyone ever heard of these? Are they rare, and something to snatch up
|when seen? or are they so much fluff?

I wouldn't call them too much fluff, but I wouldn't buy a used one. They're
Vito Dazzlers, plastic clarinets that come in multi-colors for marching band
(and middle school soloists, I guess?) purposes.

They're not rare, and you can probably find some new ones for around $499
(please correct me on this... it's the MSRP from Leblancs 96 Price Sheet).
There's no reason to own one, unless you want to impress your friends. And,
unless your school colors are red, blue, green, yellow, or white, there's
really no need to get one for your school, and even if your school colors
are, you'd look like a freak on the field (no offense. It's just my school
colors are purple and gold and there aren't any purple or gold (yellow isn't
gold!) ones... <sniff>)
