RE: What to buy

Plastic Clarinets are a good idea for marching band, I will agree--the weather exposure can have extreme toll on a wooden one. However, the vito can present some problems if she is looking to play more along the lines of concert band music and along those lines. I had a Vito from 5th grade until this year (I'm a freshman in college) and I recently purchased a Buffet E-11. It was a pricey decision but I bought it for a cheaper price than my Vito actually cost my parents because of searching around and the helpfulness of Ebay and a private dealer. I did tend to have problems with the Vito in terms of it was always in need of repair when it came to the keys and I had to have parts of the body replaced twice due to them breaking. If you have been renting to own and have a considerable amount down on the clarinet--then by all means, purchase it outright if Marching is in the picture or money is tight. I do encourage you to look at the different types of intermediate wooden clarinets as time goes by, however, for improved intonation and easier playing.
