I had fun playing through this. I like Yamaha’s cause they always play above their paygrade. This one has leaks around the middle of the horn… Middle D/E flat, etc. I still could get it to play, but I could sense them. I then applied a little more pressure, what I like to call gorilla fingers, and it got a little better

So given that many of the pads are in decent shape and have more life left in them, this is in need of some adjustment by a decent Saxophone technician. You would then have one heck of a horn for young people to play. Heck, I’ve actually used 23s on my professional gigs and they did great.

By the way, the bell is just a little bent. I could probably bend it back myself, but I’ll leave that to you.

Overall condition of the instrument is accurately portrayed in the pictures

The case is still functions and secures the instrument reasonably well. We will ship this carefully and safely.
