I dont know about that......
I play a vito, received it as my first instrument ( step dad bought it for me ) used...
got it in 1970, played it thru high school, my horn made it thru three years of marching band, 16 years traveling with me while in the service, being mailed, shipped and moved...I was second highest seat in band ( 1st best was 1st clar 1st chair, second was 2nd clar first chair, and third best was third clar third chair, you see, the director wanted a stron player in every section ) good enough the director had me doubling on oboe for orch....

and believe it or not, I still have it... my son uses it when his clarinet is down..

I do know the different reeds make a world of difference with it....I am sure the mouth pieces and ligs also have something to do with the way it plays.... have to get away from them cheapies...... we both are using Mitchell Laury .....he uses a 2.5 and I am using a 3.....

I still like my plastic VITO .... willl keep it as long as I can....

Mike
