Yamaha/Vito alto sax

Well here's a post about a horn that really isn't all that uncommon, but,  in a world of increasingly inferior instruments being produced, bought, and sold,  these horns stand out as excellent values for the student musician. 
This is a Vito alto that was produced by Yamaha,  who made horns for Vito for a number of years.   In essence this is identical to the YAS-23 model and as anyone will tell you,  these horns rock.  I'm constantly amazed by the quality of these Yamaha instruments.   This one needed basic servicing,   and yes,  certainly shows wear from age,  but is mechanically sound and played top to bottom!  I sold this to someone who was renting an instrument for their child,  paying WAY too much for an instrument that was/never will be as good as something like this.
I'm still very much a "vintage" instrument person but I am very motivated to also get quality used instruments in to the hands of students.
