There are so many positive posts about Vito B-flats here, that I would like to look for one as backup. I notice that there are Vito 2's and 3's offered for sale you know where.
Ignoring their various states of repair/ disrepair, are there any ones to run away from? Were they all good from the factory for all the years they were made?
Thanks in advance,
David

These are older models but that alone should not dissuade you from considering them. In my opinion they are excellent plastic horns. The 7214 may represent the best value in a used one at just under $100. It is difficult to be more specific.

don't know of any especially bad ones, but the V-40 is the best Vito. So says Leblanc. Around $700 sticker price, $400-$500 from a friendly dealer, and I've bought two from you-know-where for less than $100 each. Much less. A real beauty sold less than a month ago (same you-know) for $80.
Regards,
John

There is no Leblanc Mafia. The Leblancites were 'snuffed out' by the Buffet Mafia years ago ---- since then Leblanc players have had to work 'undercover' and constantly move about the country to remain safe from the marauding Buffetiosi..............
