Yanagisawa B-901 Professional Low A Baritone Saxophone - Serial # 00231178

This is a solid Yanagisawa B-901 professional baritone sax, featuring keywork from low A to high F#, serial number 00231178. This bari has been well cared for and shows only light typical wear for a used bari. It has never been dented up and will ship with a fresh cleaning and pro regulation from our repair shop.

As you can see in the photos, the “front” of the horn shows very little lacquer wear, mostly just on the key touches. The backside shows more typical scratching on the bell and body tube from normal use. There's a couple tiny dings currently, which will be removed during our adjustment, but no serious past damage or repair, and that includes no resolders. The bottom bow has never taken a big hit, the upper crook is straight, and the bell flare and bell-to-body brace are all flawless. The neck shows a little more lacquer wear, but is solid physically.

Pads are all still in pristine shape, a testament to the care this instrument has received. To make sure it comes to its next owner in perfect playing shape, the sax will go through our repair shop for a proper cleaning and pro set up. We'll do that previously mentioned dent work, replace all key adjustment corks and felts, and clean and reseat all pads, so that it arrives to you playing as well as the day it left the factory.

For what top-end pro bari's are selling for these days, this is a bargain. It plays with an easy response and retains a strong core/focus from low A up into the altissimo. The bottom end really growls! This is a tremendous horn for anything from classical/concert band work to jazz to rock-n-roll. If you've been on the hunt for a low A bari, this one will not disappoint.
