Subject: Vito and Yamaha Basses
Well, I think that the Yamaha is a little superior to the Vito. For the most part, everything Yamaha makes is, and what I've played confirms that, if you bar the fact that the Vito I've played was almost as old as I am...

Mark, as I stated before, I work at one of the most technilogically-advanced video post-production facilities ever. I say; don't go for the highlights. Tape everything possible, and send the raw footage to me. I will put together a fine program retrospective, professionally done, gratis, just for the chance to be able to be a part of all the proceedings, as previous engagements prevent me from attending this year.
Let me know if you can use my gratis services!
Steven Lederman
P.S.- the editing is free; people will have to pay for their own tapes and postage, which you may want to sell as an item with which to raise funds for next year's fest!

No sweat, it's the same horn. The Yamaha student models basses, altos and Eb's are all Vito made stencil instruments.

The San Jose Wind Symphony will be performing this Sunday, 12/7/97, at 7:00 PM at Peninsula Covenant Church (3560 Farm Hill Road, Redwood City, CA, 650-365-8094), with the PCC Christmas Choir. Lots of carols in interesting arrangements, and several pieces performed jointly with the choir. I think admission is free. Come and enjoy!
