It should be. Vitos are plastic clarinets. I never should have asked that question. Honestly, vitos are not that great of a horn. They are plastic and wooden clarinets are so much better. The intonation, ease of playing, and the way that they sound is better. I would suggest getting a wooden horn. How long have you been playing? If only a year or so, i can see why you have a vito. But i strongly suggest getting a wooden horn. A buffet E-11 is a great beginners horn, or even a buffet B-12. I used an E-11 as my first horn. Now i have a 1963 R-13, a professional model, and it is brilliant. Toscas and the line of Vintage R-13`s are also professional horns. Selmer also makes good beginners horns, although im not sure of model #`s. Wooden clarinets take more effort to maintain, but they are infinitely better, in a concert setting. For marching band and what not, plastic horns are better considering the circumstances. But for concert band, wooden all the way.
