Re: Olds Alto Clarinet

Both the instrument and its case appear to be Vito stencils to me, as well. Towards the end of the Olds/Reynolds run, stenciled woodwinds and percussion were sold alongside their original lines of brasswinds in order to offer a full range of band instruments.

The Olds name and logo are now used by a reseller, NEMC, on their line of stencil instruments. Your alto appears to predate the NEMC era.

If you're playing the original mouthpiece that was included with it, it's probably terrible. I'd suggest upgrading it to, say, a Fobes Debut before dismissing your alto as "stuffy/fuzzy/buzzy".
