1970s Vito Clarinet

Hah! It's almost foolish to post such a thing as I won't be listing it for sale online, but this very-inexpensive clarinet is hanging-out in the shop waiting for its next student victim. If nothing else, maybe some detailed photos of this guy (vs grainy eBay pics) will help someone out there to see what these look like.

This is a US-made "Vito" clarinet and, like your average recorder, it's actually molded rather than made from wood or metal. It seems to be decently-made despite that. I've heard a couple folks play it and it sounded just fine, but I have no real idea of the condition as I'm terrible with reeds and brass.

I've sprayed it down and fit the remaining single good reed that was in the case but have not scrubbed it.
