YAMAHA YTS-61 Tenor Saxophone. Serial Number 4097 - made in 1970 SOLD - July 2010 This is a near mint condition Yamaha YTS-61 being sold by the horn's second owner. In 2005, he bought it directly from Peter Ponzol, who was the first owner. For less than the price of a new Yamaha YTS-23 Student Tenor Sax, you can get this professional tenor. The record is much less complete after 1936. Instruments manufactured after 1936 range in serial number from 1350-3600. The log book shows the serial numbers jumping around quite a bit for the Selmer/Adolphe Sax saxophones. Even so, its possible from this record to assemble a basic serial number chart for these instruments. Here is a table of Vito Sax serial no.' S, manufacture dates, manufacturers, country of origin, etc. I haven't found any reference tables for Vitos out there, so I started this one for myself and decided to share it. 2007 - Use this CHART to date your Made-In-Japan 7131RK Vito Altos.
