That I think would be the Vito 7214. I have one, it plays nice and might play nicer yet if I can isolate the final few leaks......and replace that tone hole I melted...

I will add my thoughts on to what you said; one agreeing and one disagreeing.Did I ever tell you guys how scared I am of owning a wooden instrument? The chances of them cracking are waaay to great. You have to keep them dry, but not too dry. They have to be played-in properly, but then eventually--how long of course depends on how many hours a day you play them--they have to be replaced b/c they get "blown out". (That blown out comment refers to smaller clarinets especially.) Oh, and of course you shouldn't play them outside. All in all, give me something indestructible like my saxophone made of brass any day...
Clarinet purists will disagree, but these were primarily the reasons I stuck with non-wooden materials for my clarinets.
Makes me want to visit even more. No place in the US I've lived is like that.BTW, when I was talking climate, I wasn't referring to cold. Here on the West Coast, we have an unusual climate for Canada. We are the only part of the country that is a rain forest. We very seldom have snow. Our winters are characterized by lots of rain, and above freezing temps.
