All really the same thing. Possibly small variations in the body material
composition. All the Vitos, until some very recent ones, have a relatively
large .584 bore (same as the Noblets and most Leblancs (excluding Opus and
Concerto). They are fine student instruments, well suited to smaller hands
(or so it seems to my relatively large hands). I am a school service rep
for a music store, and I have one I keep in my store van for those
occasions when I have a moment to sit in with a school band or play a quick
duet with a director.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
