RE: What to buy

If the Vito is playing well, it should be a servicable decent horn.

If she takes off in skill level for concert performance in High School, check out the Yamaha line. Some of their intermediate horns have a high performance:price ratio.

A good mouthpiece, good reeds (or the Legere synthetic reed) and you'll be miles ahead of the game.

Don't even look at new horns, there too much money for kids to bang around.

One word of caution; stay away from the Chinese made horns, they're virtually unplayable. (Like the AMF-era Harleys.) Insist the seller tell you the country of origin. It won't tell you how good a horn plays, but the source can indicate the level of attention paid during assembly.

Congratulations on supporting your daughter's musical interest!
