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.
