Description
Brand: Yanagisawa Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan


This is a  Yanagisawa curved soprano, which I bought in the nineties and played ever since. It has the expected worn lacquer spots as you see in the photos. I'd say 85 % of the lacquer is in perfect condition. It plays perfectly with great action and pads in good condition. The high C pad is a bit sticky at times and should be changed. It comes in the original case and with two necks: an original one and another that I had shortened a few millimeters to adapt to mouthpieces of different  chambers and bores. You can have a thicker cork on one of them and test different mouthpieces on them easily.These horns have a nice full tone and very accurate intonation compared to others. I am not playing it any more and I think it deserves a new home. Bid with confidence.Thanks for looking.
