I am the new owner of a Vito tenor, serial number 508xxx. It's marked Japan and appears to be a YTS-23 stencil.

Anyone know? Guess?

well, then you may have missed this particular table with Japanese made horns.

There is says should be made between 1990 to 1991

That's for altos. Were the tenors stamped in the same series?

Trivial information about horns is fun. In certain cases, particular vintages are worth a good deal more than their counterparts. Doesn't really apply to any Yamaha made Vito, but they're still good horns.

I think that it is likely to be. I don't think they used serial numbers ONLY for alto or tenor but that in a certain period they bought them from Yamaha

I think we should have a Vito in the "Makes and Models" section of the forum. That way all Vito information would be in one spot and would be more helpful to those seeking information.

except we have that already ( maybe a good idea to familiarize yourself with the forum? Navigation isn't difficult but yet many don't seem to find their way)

Forum: Beaugnier, G. Leblanc & Vito
... and FRENCH or US-MADE Vitos. Japanese Vitos are Yanis or Yamahas.

I know the forum well, thank you. Please try to comprehend what is written.

 

[milandro]

you want a Vito section, we have that already. Is this one https://forum.saxontheweb.net/forumdisplay.php?229-Beaugnier-G-Leblanc-amp-Vito please click the link. It is already part of the forum " makes and models" hence " we have that already".

It is integrated with other brands because Vito was for the most part a stencil brand and its owner Vito Pascucci acquired the brand Leblanc which had worked very closely with Beaugnier.

You can't separate Leblanc and Beaugnier from Vito because THAT would duplicate things.

BUT

Vito ALSO bought form several stencil makers.

As indicated by the subtitle of that section (Forum: Beaugnier, G. Leblanc & Vito
... and FRENCH or US-MADE Vitos. Japanese Vitos are Yanis or Yamahas. ) that section includes the Japanese stencils Yanagisawa and Yamaha ( it should also include KHS-Jupiter) .

The compiler of the best resource on line Kim Slava, has also participated to that section. I have endeavored to comprehend but there is also the possibility that one does't explain things in a way that is easily comprehendible.
