Greetings.
I was doing some searches here regarding these instruments...
But some of those searches brought me to messages ten years ago, which helped a lot...but currently what is the rating today on Vito's? I mean how do they stand with other instruments in the same price range and so forth.
I got so curious because near where I live, I happened upon a shop that had four used LeBlanc's for sale, used and all plastic. Very pricey, I believe because some of the pads looked like a repad was due...bugs you know.
Each one looked different.
I do not recall seeing the name Normandy on any of them.
But are all plastic LeBlancs pretty much Vito's?
Each one looked different, and now that I am back at home, was wondering what I actually was looking at.
Is there a page of Vito symbols online anywhere to examine?
Also, how can one tell which are newer Vito's and so forth?
What caught my attention was that two of these did not have the Vito in the oval or the Vito in the harp looking symbol, but were printed on, and I don't think engraved, but looked kind of cool too. And both of those differed as well.
I only ask because I looked at this with joy and got interested in these clarinets.
Would love current comments about them or anything that you all would like to share about them.
Thanks.
Even more, I saw online green and blue Vitos for sale, but they are not at the LeBlanc website. Are these made elsewhere? Or already older items? Oh, and how do these rate?
Thanks so much.
