[QUOTE="ghostler, post: 559165, member: 9204"] It is interesting that some traders would embark on this type of venture. I guess they saw a good opportunity to fill a gap with the used instrument market to make a profit. And, the NL community wanted affordable intermediate quality saxes to learn music on. I would think the goal with the Café Sax community here, is to help one to discern the stencil origin, so they can know what they are to look for to save money, or, to have confidence that perhaps the Vito they have is worth keeping repaired, in good order for playing. Then, the relative Country of Origin stamp becomes a mute point due to inconsistencies with some stamped and some unstamped. Based on information thus far, my Vito Tenor 7133T (Jupiter) is Taiwan manufactured but has no Taiwan stamped on it, and hails from the early 1990's. This I thank [USER=4504]@JayeNM[/USER] and others for contributing information to identify its specifics. [/QUOTE]
