 It has been a while since I have researched clarinets. I am in the process of making recommendations for my beginner clarinets at our local music store.  Any insight and suggestions on the following instruments would be helpful. 
 -Yamaha YCL-250
 
 -Vito Reso-tone
 
 -Armstrong
 
 I am concerned with the influx of Asian instruments in the beginner market.  Moving up to the "intermediate" level instrument sometimes brings about another manufacturing sight - so if you can recommend a better instrument in the brands above, that would be appreciated as well.  Any thoughts and suggestions will be much appreciated.  Thank you.
