Actually, the Yamaha comes with leather pads, the Vito with bladder pads.
Otherwise, the are the same, but probably made in ElkHORN, WI (Leblanc),
and not ElkHART. For a little more money, the Vito is available with the
leather pads if you have a thing against Yamaha.
The Selmers have nice sound, but if you don't like Bundy/Signet keywork,
you are going to HATE their bass!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
