Interesting comments....
I have had a pair of Toscas for 3 days now....and I should add I had £350 (erm, $650 I think...) worth of work done on them before I picked them up.
They were sent from the factory in RUBBISH condition, very little sealed, and some springs didn't have enough tension etc. etc.
Even when they were in the shop (i.e. before the work) I can't say I noticed the resistance was extreme or inconsistent, certainly not as resistant as say a Rossi. As for the weight, I don't find them as heavy as the Selmer. I also tried the greenline version, it's much lighter.
I have never played a clarinet that fits better under my fingers. I usually hate L.H. G sharp/D sharp keys, as I always bump into them. Not so on the Tosca, and the new low F (not sure how much I'll use it mind) doesn't get in the way either.
As for the tone, interesting comments again. I love it, incidentally combined with a James Pyne mouthpiece. It's consistent and beautiful, and can't say more than that!
As for the Price...yikes, my cards are groaning under £5300 worth of spending!
I'm not poopooing anything said, just adding my own $1 worth. Also, no two clarinets are the same!
