RE: Be carefull of Vitos

The school district here in Abilene recommends the Vito V40. That's one of the better plastic Vitos. The music store owner who sells hundreds of these to the surrounding areas in Texas has very few repairs on these except for the earlier mentioned things like: falling out of their cases onto the street while loading stuff into the car after school, dropping onto concrete, dropping something heavy on the unprotected instrument, or other kid type accidents. The band directors here play-tested dozens of student instruments before deciding upon the V40 with Vandoren 5RV Lyre mouthpieces as their required equipment for beginning-intermediate students.

I've bought a coule of VSPs for intermediate players. That's the Vito that is made in France at the factory where Leblanc makes their pro level clarinets. It has the .575 bore like the pro lines and is made of wood. It has excellent tone and intonation and is my personal choice for students wanting an instrument that will carry them on up into the college level. Tough instrument. And affordable.
