Hi, so i was wondering about the quality of my clarinet. It is over 25 years old (it was my mother"s), and I think it is a Vito brand instrument. Is this a good brand of clarinet? I always wanted to know if it was or not.

if you can find the serial number on the instrument, you may be able to look it up online and find out the model, which will be more useful for finding out anything about it.

Vito is a series of clarinet manufactured by the Leblanc Corporation in honor of one of their former executives, Vito Pascucci. It is a plastic instrument meant for beginning students. It's about half way through the spectrum (speaking in quality) for beginning instruments.

so i looked into it, and my clarinet is a leblanc france vito clarinet. the serial number is c19469.

According to my serial number list, this instrument was manufactured in 1994.

according to this list http://www.saxmaniax.com/snclarinet.htm#SNLeblanc
that clarinet was made in 1978 or 1994, they seem to repeat numbers. which is weird. assuming i'm reading the list correctly.

yes, it was proabaly made in 1978, considering it was my mothers and she began playing around that time. thanks for all the help!
