Here's a nice Yanagisawa A-880 alto saxophone ready to go. It comes in a Protec style hard case with a Yanagisawa #5 mouthpiece/ligature/cap, a swab, a Rico neckstrap and a new reed.The sax was just leak checked and adjusted by a very experienced Tech, and is ready to gig professionally.There is some corrosion spots on the back side of the bell and inside the bell. There's also some scratches on the body side of the bell which aren't that noticeable in real life, but clearly shown in the photo.The brass key touches don't have the typical wear that most Yani saxophones have, which indicates that the sax doesn't have a lot of hours playing time on it. The body appears to have no dents or signs of repair that I can see.This sax has an interesting provenance: it was played in the Barnum Bailey Circus!** Check my other items:  I also have a beautiful YANI A-902 bronze alto, and a RARE Martin Handcraft Imperial alto available. **
