Yamaha YBS-62 Professional Low A Gold Lacquer Baritone Saxophone, Serial #030509

Tremendous condition professional Yamaha YBS-62 bari sax, serial number 030509. This is a premier, top-shelf bari sax for serious players wanting the best around. This bari has been well cared for and properly maintained. It will get a fresh cleaning and adjustment from our repair shop before shipping, and come to its next owner in perfect playing shape.

As you can see in the photos, the horn has been played but never abused. There's light lacquer wear/scratching mostly on the backside of the bell and body tube, and some minor dings and dimples around there from bumping up against chairs and whatnot. The “front” of the horns hows little wear and is about as clean as a used horn can be There are no signs of any serious past trauma, and there no resolders anywhere. The bell flare was one bent on one side, but this was professionally repaired and is really hard to spot unless you know what you are looking for. The original neck has never been damaged and is in flawless shape.

The factory pads are still in great shape and have lots of life in them. During our set up, we'll take a hard look at all pads and replace any that are starting to show wear, as well as replace all of the key corks and felts, all of the material to make sure it remains in top playing shape for a long time. We'll also clean the horn inside and out, and do a fresh adjustment and oiling. When we're done, it will feel and play like a brand new horn again.

This bari has got it going on, and it is easy to see why so may pro bari players reach for a Yamaha these days. Very dynamic sound, it is focused without being too dark or stuffy, and bright without being ear-piercing or obnoxious. It won't peal paint, but it will cut to the back of a loud room. This horn stays full from low A up to high F# and beyond into the altissimo. Down in the bell, it really rips! Great sax, and in all likelihood the last bari you'll ever need to buy. Ships in a durable hardshell ABS case by SKB.
