Vintage Vito Kenosha Wis Alto Saxophone in Gold Lacquer, Serial #V1079

This is an older Vito alto saxophone, Kenosha, serial number V1079. These old Vitos are excellent players and feature an impressive and powerful sound. Because of their playing characteristic and sturdy build they make nice back ups and road horns for the everyday professional.  This one came into our shop playing on a mix match of standard grade pads and key materials. In order to keep the price at a premium we are selling this one in as is condition. 

 

The pictures of this alto tell its story the best. It is has seen a healthy amount of use over the years and shows history of past repair. At this time the horn is in solid condition. There are a few smaller dings still present on the horn but nothing too serious. The original neck with the sax is also in good condition. 

 

This Vito is currently playing nicely down to low Bb through some smaller leaks and clicky keys. The majority of the pads look like they are a little older but are clean and do not look like they have seen a ton of use. If you are a more particular player you will ultimately want to get the horn professionally serviced before it can be considered “perfect”. 

 

At this time we have a number of nice vintage items we are selling in as is condition at lower prices. This one ships in as is condition with a nice wood hard case.
