For sale is this near mint condition Yanagisawa S-991 Soprano saxophone in a beautiful gold lacquer finish including its original case (neck strap and mouthpiece not included).  This saxophone was purchased brand new in 2014 from Kessler & Sons Music company. It comes with two brand new interchangeable necks (straight/curved) that were special ordered by Dave Kessler himself.Its previous sole owner barely played this horn since its date of purchase before deciding to sell only due to a need for financing a career change.This horn plays very well up/down the register and features a high G key.  These sopranos get a great tone – clear, round, and with a delicate core.  They are very mouthpiece-friendly, so you can make it sound much darker or much more aggressive depending on what mouthpiece you use.  Thus, they are well suited for both jazz and classical venues.This horn has no areas of missing lacquer, no scratches, no dents, no dings, no re-solders, nor any evidence of past repairs.  The pads are in excellent condition with many years of life left in them.It’s hard to beat a Yanagisawa 991 soprano for build quality, workmanship, tone quality, intonation and ergonomics. This can be your turn-key purchase for a beautiful, world-class soprano.You can own it today at a great price!
