Rare opportunity to buy a professional tenor from one of the ‘big four’ makers for the price of a used student Yamaha 26 tenor. This horn is obviously pretty worn looking. It’s on consignment and it has mostly original (old) pads from around 1980 when it was made. It still plays on them, but would be better with more pads replaced. I just got it cleaned up and tuned up for $150, so it has a basic playing condition job on it. These early 80’s Yanagisawa tenors are just fantastic sounding. Big, fat, warm, in-tune, and ergonomically very comfortable. They’re hard to beat for the money for sure. This one also has some features that anticipate the T880 like some double key arms on low keys.
