I know it's already been established that these are not good clarinets (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1444796882), but even if they were, what clarinetist, or teacher, would want a colored clarinet in the first place? Sure they're neat looking, but wouldn't the orchestral leader/band teacher want the clarinets to match in at least color for conformity?
I could see if it were for pep band and the clarinet actually was the same as your school colors, I guess. Course, back in my highschool, the colors were orange and black

Maybe for solos, and for jazzy concerts. You know, just for spazz. (My school colors were a dark blue and silver.) Or maybe to auction off for some money. The "fruitcake" of the clarinet section.

Vito makes colored clarinets: white, red, yellow, green and blue. If I were to find "a clarinet of a different color", I'd choose a Vito.
Why different colors? Just a different presence and effect, I would guess. My high school colors were blue and green, and the blue and green clarinets would look pretty cool on the field. IMHO, it just isn't necessary.

Who said Vito's weren't good clarinets? IMO, there are some very nice Vito's out there. Best, mw

I know of some high schools that provide their clarinet section Dazzlers in the school colors. Kind of high budget, but it looks pretty cool!

Awwwwww come on! Doesn't anyone think that a yellow clarinet would look GRRRRREAT in the hands of-oh say Larry Combs while playing a great concerto such as the Copland? I think it would just add to the beauty and jazz of the piece! HAHAHA! Thought maybe someone needed to laugh tonight (or at least smile?!) Take care and gooood clarinetting! :-D

I'd do it just to stand out, I think. At a marching band competition last year I saw some girl marching with a red clarinet, but as I recall, the school colors didn't include red (they were purple and orange, i think). I was perplexed. I think that if in a marching atmosphere, all the clarinets were the same (not black) color, it would produce a neat visual - a costly visual. You still can't beat making lines spin in circles, and letting the lead trumpet do a somersault after his solo, then tip his hat, letting the guard "moan in pleasure" during a pause in the song, horn pops.. all that good stuff.

I've always wanted to get one of those crystal clear ones and have some of the new micro lights embedded in it for jazz.

It's the Jinyan that people said are not good and the particular item that Azzacca was referring to is a colored Jinyan. No one said that the Vitos are not good, they just remarked that Vito is also available in colors.

There is a local clown band that wears multicolored outfits. They play at football games, the state fair, etc. They don't have a clarinetist. I have thought about suggesting it to them and then seeing if I couldn't get parts from different dazzlers to make a single instrument. It would fit right in.
