Vito Reso-Tone 3 B♭ Clarinet Leblanc Plastic Body

Vito Reso-Tone 3

[Overview]
This instrument is known as a student model from Leblanc.
I acquired it some time ago with the intention of using it for outdoor performances, but it has been stored away unused for a while.
As you can see from the photos and the description below, the pads need to be replaced for playing.
Alternatively, if you intend to use it solely for finger practice without producing sound, I believe it can be used as is (the key construction is solid, unlike some questionable manufacturers).

[Condition]
- The gold engraving remains (slight fading on the barrel).
- The keys are in good condition for their age (subjective opinion).
- Key action is smooth with no unusual feel.
- The pads are damaged by insects and torn, resulting in poor airtightness of the body.
- Some pads show signs of being glued (which also contributes to poor airtightness).
- I attempted to play it, and it produced sound except for notes using the pinky keys. However, as expected given the condition of the pads, it is difficult to play and the sound is airy and weak.
- The hardware on the instrument case is tarnished.

- Model: Reso-Tone
- Accessories: Hard case, mouthpiece, ligature
- Country of Manufacture: USA
- Material: Resin
- Key Material: Nickel-plated

[Recommended Uses]
- For those who want to use it for outdoor performances, such as cheering at baseball games or hired performances.
- For those who want a resin clarinet but prefer not to have a Yamaha.
- As a backup instrument while your main clarinet is being serviced.
