I have a Vito student alto sax, currently my only saxophone. It certainly suits me. It was made by Yanagisawa in Japan, as is the YAS23. Comparing it with a YAS23 reveals that the two instruments are identical except for the bell markings and color. The Vito is lacquered in a gold color, while the Yamaha has a clear lacquer. No one seems to dislike these instruments, and the price is right.
Consistent with the comments of GBK (who speaks straight), I have been told of several professional players who use one of these at any "questionable" gigs. Perhaps not the best made, but quite a satisfactory piece.
Regards,
Joh
