Hi, the first of these measures 27 inches, but I can't tell if its a C Mel or an Eb Alto

The second one, I emailed the seller and he said it was a Tenor, but indicated that he knew nothing about saxophones. He indicated that it was 27 inches tall.

Does anyone know if these are C Mel or other? Thanks.

Obviously the two sellers are measuring with different parameters in mind! The first, Vito horn is an Alto and the second, Buescher is a C-Melody.

Okay, thanks. That is what I suspected, but I had read about Vito making straight necked C Melody which left me a bit confused.

The second is definately a C Melody. The neck angle was wrong for the Vito, but I then compared it with Anke's one [since there was only one run produced they would have to be the same], and it is definately an Alto.

Anke's Vito is at http://www.simplysax.de/Vito.htm
