Vito is a brand name for Leblanc USA, now part of Conn-Selmer USA.The Vito name was used for student instruments. Leblanc USA was formed in 1946 by Vito Pascucci,and the French woodwind manufacturer, G. Leblanc Cie of France. To meet high demand, Leblanc USAstarted to manufacture clarinets in the US from plastic bodies and French keys. Eventually all of the partswere made in the US. These student clarinets were named 'Vito'.
There were also Vito saxes and flutes. Some saxes may have been assembled in the USA, but they were basically of foreign manufacturer. This author has no information concerning where the flutes were manufactured.
Addendum: Many, if not all, Vito flutes were 'stencil' instruments manufactured in Japan by Yamaha. They were roughly the equivalent of a Yamaha YFL-200 series student instrument.
