And yet there's no pictures of the outside of the case...

In what aspect is the "poor quality" of student-level metal clarinets considered to be? Build quality? Tone? Intonation?
Sort of like how modern cheap Chinese plastic clarinets are no good.
Physically they appear to be a perfectly sound clarinet. However, build quality is poor, and quality control is poor. The same is probably the case with the metal clarinets - these were churned out by the hundreds of thousands, and were not made to as near a standard as your typical hand-finished higher-end clarinet.
We now have a pre-serial number list date stake.
Vito Reso-Tone 3 serial number 14445 (model 14) was sold on 9/7/1966 in Lansing Michigan. Certificate of Warranty, Receipt etc. below.
Watching serial numbers for the past couple years, Vito's are all over the board. I've seen 4 numbers, 5 numbers, 6 numbers, 4 numbers and a letter (A through J, no I yet), 5 numbers and a letter (so far, only A, only Reso-tone 3's and Stubbins) , and the ever popular letter and 5 numbers.
Thanks for the info.
Do you think the seller is purposefully trying to scam potential buyers? If so, I can report the item to eBay for fraud.
It would be good if others could as well to add fuel to the case.
Thanks for the warning.They did - all H.N. White metal Boehm clarinets that I've seen have the regulation screw on the low F.
Just a thought-did student models often have a low F adjustment screw?
