This is BY FAR the nicest example of a purple logo 62 baritone that I have seen, and the nicest one we are likely to see. This horn can play the full range from classical to funk no problem and be as reliable as a Lexus day after day, year after year. The tone is beautiful and warm, rich, and medium focused. There are maybe a few of the lightest possible surface scratches not through the lacquer, but aside from that, it looks as new as it could be and be from the early 80’s. This sax came in the plastic in the case, and I had to take it out to take photos. Yamaha sold the instruments from the display, and they sat in someone’s closet for that entire time. This sax was originally a display model that Yamaha brought to the USA for a trade show almost 40 years ago. This is an amazing chance to get a new old stock Purple Logo YBS-62 baritone saxophone. Take it in a classical direction, and it will do a gorgeous cello-like tone better than any other baritone that I know of. Take it in a funk direction with an aggressive mouthpiece, and it will bark and cut without thinning out. It plays EFFORTLESSLY and beautifully, with a warm, complex tone. Item can be collected or posted after 9th as i am away until then.Now comes with a full overhaul!! All new pads and the full deal.
Local trials welcome as is cash on collection.
Yamaha 4c mouthiece and sling included too. Comes in an older BAM case in decent condition, these sell for £350± themselves. These were some of the best horns Yamaha made so grab it for a great price. Owned by a pro but not used much in the last 3 years or more years due to him not performing. Lacquer is worn in places a little pitted but adds to the look and doesn't effect performance in any way. Pads seem fine but dry, just need playing back in. Sax blows well but unused for about a year or so and will benefit from a service. S/N 044982 A very nice quality top end sax from around late 90s early 2000 i i think.
