The Vito Reso-Tone Bb Clarinet (serial number A258XX) is a vintage student-model instrument manufactured around 1984 by the G. Leblanc Corporation in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Instruments from this era are well regarded for their durability, consistency, and ease of play—qualities that have made Vito clarinets a staple in school band programs for decades.
Constructed from Reso-Tone ABS material, this clarinet is designed to withstand the demands of student use, including fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The medium-large bore supports a free-blowing response with stable intonation, helping developing players produce a clear, centered tone with less effort.
The inclusion of the Positive Radial Alignment Guide (PRAG) system allows for precise alignment of the upper and lower joints, reducing setup issues and promoting consistent performance—especially helpful for newer players.
This instrument shows light cosmetic wear consistent with normal use, including minor surface and feather scratches. The keywork shows typical signs of handling but remains fully functional. It has been inspected and adjusted by our technician to ensure proper playing condition.
Included with the clarinet are the original hard-shell case and original Vito mouthpiece, making this a complete and practical setup for a beginner or as a dependable secondary instrument.
