Beautiful professional (or ‘elite’ to use the current lingo) Yanagisawa T991 Tenor saxophone that just got a thorough tune up and plays effortlessly. This horn rocks. The T991 (or TWO10 as the current version of this horn is now called) is just a fantastic do-it-all saxophone. Top build quality, top ergonomics, excellent intonation, extremely good reliability. Yanagisawa is just hard to beat. And the price! You’d be hard pressed to find a better horn for the money. The pads are in very good condition. There’s no significant past damage. Maybe a tiny bit of evidence of a crease removed from the bell flare (not easy to see), and a little lacquer wear on the neck, are all that needs to be mentioned to show that this one-owner horn was loved and played. You’re saving thousands off the price of a new TWO10, and this plays as well or better. Tone is slightly warmer I think, though they are more similar than different.
