Up for sale is a beautiful piece of mid-century American musical history: a vintage Vito Alto Saxophone manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Key Features & Identifiers:

Serial Number: 2656A (Stamped on the lower rear body tube).

Body Engravings: Clearly marked "Kenosha W15" body stamp.

Mouthpiece: Includes the original, highly collectible vintage "Vito France" hard rubber (ebonite) mouthpiece.
