[QUOTE="skeller047, post: 559183, member: 9069"] I don’t think it’s that much of a mystery. It’s known which saxophone manufacturers Vito (LeBlanc) used for stencils, and it’s also known that a lot of them were assembled in the US (to avoid import duties on musical instruments - parts aren’t taxed the same way, if at all). All that remains is to identify which of the four sources made a particular horn (Beaugnier, Yamaha, Yanagisawa or Jupiter/KHS). Which is easily done by just looking at it. Model numbers may or may not tell you the truth. Regarding “intermediate”, if the horn is a Beaugnier or Yanagisawa (Vito VSP models), then these are truly professional level horns. The Yamahas and Jupiters are indeed “second shelf” instruments, but are still excellent. Vito don’t get no respect in the marketplace. [/QUOTE]
