“A pre-loved, vintage Yanagisawa alto saxophone in very good condition. This saxophone has recently been serviced by our woodwind technician but would benefit from an overhaul. Commensurate with its vintage pedigree, this alto sax has some cosmetic, age-related surface defects e.g. tarnish to some keys and scratches. The case is a Berkeley of London black shaped fibreglass hard case and though not the original it protects the instrument well and is robust with all clasps, handles and hinges in good working order. There is no locking key for the case.”
