Vintage Yamaha YBS-62 Baritone Saxophone with Case and Mouthpiece #1180
*** All restoration work now completed....Photos show minor lacquer touch-up. READY TO SHIP!
***
Yamaha baritone sax, still has 50% original lacquer, appears to have not been played for many years.
Multiple scratch marks on the bell and end-bow, now burnished out by our workshop. BUT.... We've done NO buffing, no sanding, no heavy machine polish of any kind. Light hand-rag and an overspray to keep it looking good.
Which means the brass is still thick, no thin spots, no cracks or breaks. Not for a collector, but perfect for an amateur player / semi-pro performance / Shrine Band or anything else.
New case plus 70's / 80's Otto Link mouthpiece.
*** MAP price now $11,500 ? Man, I can't believe it!GR/EDR
