Description
Very cool, great playing Yanagisawa alto. Nicely engraved original lacquer finish, pads are very good - horn appears to have been recently repadded - key action is excellent -- it's an awesome-playing sax! There is a small wear spot on back of the horn where initials were removed. According to online research this model was made for the Prima Music Shop in Tokyo and sold there in the 1960's and 70's (when I played it I thought it had the feel and sound of a 1960s Selmer). Checked out at the woodwind shop, it's good to go. With original hard case (case shows signs of wear, tolex missing on both sides). Payment through paypal, shipment to a confirmed address only.
