This V40 is a very nice example of Vito's popular student clarinet. By looking at it you can tell that it has been well taken care of- the key plating is excellent plus the corks and springs are in top condition. The body of the clarinet has very few minor scratches from normal use and no cracks. This instrument has been thoroughly reconditioned: taken apart and cleaned, all new Valentino pads were installed, plus it was lubricated and the keys aligned when it was re-assembled. I've found that often it's the small adjustments that make a big difference in how enjoyable an instrument is to play.

I started playing clarinet 60 years ago and these days I restore clarinets exclusively. Over the years I've refurbished more than 1,200 of these Bb clarinets, many of which have been sold here on eBay. Therefore, you can check out the feedback from other happy customers and be confident that you're buying a quality instrument that plays great. I feel I've done my best to ensure this one fits that description. After testing this clarinet, I've found that it does everything well- it plays easily from top to bottom and has that rich a rich tone. This is due in part to having an excellent mouthpiece.

This clarinet comes with a Woodwind B45 mouthpiece that compliments it well! Also comes with cork grease and a new reed. The case is showing typical wear and it protects the instrument very well. The serial number is A49572. Clarinet will be shipped quickly by Priority Mail or FedEx following payment.
