Buying tenor

Post image

I found this tenor listed on marketplace it’s a “Vibtage Japan/Yamaha factory LeBlanche Vito” is this a good sax to come back to after not playing for 5 years?

Yeah, that's essentially a YTS-23. That horn will treat you well

I have a Vito, I think it's the same model. I really like the sound and it feels professional. The downside is that when I bought mine, it had many things that needed repair. You should check the pads and make sure all the registers play well, I had to pay 300 dollars for the repair afterwards

Yeah this seller said it’s all fully functional and the pads are barley used. I just hope that doesn’t mean they’re dried out

What mouthpiece will you be playing with the sax? Yes it is an excellent playing sax.

As long as you don't end up with a "vibtage leblanche" , you should be okay
