THIS HORN IS ONE OF THEM, AND IT HAS A HUGE BORE AND SOUND (A STANDARD END PLUG IS TOO SMALL FOR THIS HORN), AND THE TUNEABLE HIGH F KEY (ALONG WITH THE HIGH F# KEY), WHICH IS A STANDARD FEATURE OF THE VINTAGE YANAGISAWAS. YANAGISAWA WAS SHIPPING HORNS TO TAIWAN IN PARTS, AND HAVING THEM ASSEMBLED THERE (ALTHOUGH THEY PROBABLY WILL NOT ADMIT TO IT, HENCE, THE STENCILS WERE VERY PROFITABLE THIRTY YEARS AGO, WHEN THIS HORN WAS MADE). OTHER YANAGISAWA STENCILS ARE STAMPED WITH OLDS, MARTIN, VITO, ASTRO, AND MORE, HOWEVER IT IS THE SAME HORN: THE BUILD QUALITY IS SO HIGH THAT THIS HORN WILL OUT-PLAY MODERN HIGH-END MODELS! EXPERIENCED SAXOPHONISTS KNOW ABOUT THESE HORNS, AND I HAVE COLLECTED A TON OF THEM. YOU WILL BE STUNNED AND IMPRESSED BY THE PLAYABILITY AND TONE OF THIS UNSUNG HERO, HANDS DOWN!
