Vito Alto Sax
Made in Kenosha, WI
from French components
Serial number 1083A
SOLD May '09
This is a very nice-playing Vito. Easy-to-play ergonomics, good tone...a clean. good-looking sax.
The pads are in good shape...this horn is ready to play.
There are some esoteric touches that appeal to fans of Kenosha Vito horns:
The G# articulation on/off switch
The rounded (vs. triangular) low D#/Low C fingertouches
The articulated low C# pivots off the bottom off the lower stack
Teeter-totter octave mechanism
Amber key-rollers
The is a dent on the guard at the bottom of the bow.
And I just noticed that the initials "M R" are scratched inside the bell, about 1/4 inch high letters.
The case is in good shape.
This'd be an excellent choice for an advancing student, for about the same cost as renting for a year.
