I haven't found anyone who stocks the clarinet in question - a Vito 7214P plateau. There is approximately a $300CDN saving to import the horn.

That is a substantial amount of money, Bob. (Since you are quoting in
Canadian currency, I assume you are in Canada). The only OTHER
possibility I can think of is to contact Woodwind and Brasswind, and see
if it is possible 1) that they stock several of the Vito 7241P and 2) if
it is possible for customers OUTSIDE the continental US (give them the
name of your city and province; make sure they know you are in Canada)
to have three horns shipped to the prospective customer with a credit
card or other type of deposit of US currency - or Canadian currency. It
may be that if you can pay a deposit in US dollars, then they will ship
you horns to try out - and then you will be able to keep and purchase
the one you find satisfactory, and ship back the others to WW-BW.

Let us know how it works out & best of luck
