The listing, Clarinet- Vito Reso-tone has ended.
Great for beginners! This auction is for a Vito Reso-tone Clarinet. I bought this at an estate sale many years ago and have only played it a few times. I have been a classical musician for 18 years (mainly Oboe) and feel qualified to list this with confidence.
This is an older clarinet so it does have some wear and tear. It is made from resin (plastic) which makes it a great beginner clarinet. The corks at the joints need to be replaced, this is something that any local music store could do in 5 minutes for a few dollars, no big deal. Most instrument keys are plated with either silver or nickel, some areas have worn down plating showing the metal underneath, this does not effect the instruments playability in any way, just happens with age. As far as I know this clarinet seals and will be fully functional right out of the case. However, some pads may need to be replaced soon, this is also something that can be done at a local music store in a few minutes for a few dollars. The mouthpiece has the usual wear, i have included a picture of this. Probably a good idea to give that a good scrub before you play it. :P
It also comes with a case. The case that it comes with is not the original case as is says "LeBlanc" on the outside. It is a thick hard plastic case with metal bumpers. The inside is a bit grimy, just an age thing, happens over time. This auction also includes 2 brand new Vandoren 3 and 1/2 strength reeds.
Always free shipping in the CONTINENTAL USA. I cannot ship international it is too heavy and would cost too much.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
