Description

Yanagisawa Alto Saxophone A-500
Serial No. 00149596 Tube weight 2350 grams (neck 112 grams)

This model was made around 1988 with lacquer finish and High F# key.
It has been modified with solder, dents, etc., and there are some marks left from the modifications.
Also, most of the lacquer on the neck has peeled off, and the remaining paint is in rough condition.
Overall, the instrument is in practical condition with scratches, lacquer peeling, rust, discoloration, and other signs of use commensurate with its age.
The tampos have all been replaced with new ones, and the tuning has been done so you can use it for a long time with peace of mind.
The instrument produces a nice rounded and tasteful sound, just like a Yanagisawa.
Repair details: disassembly cleaning, cleaning, replacement of all tampos, replacement of defective soft parts, correction of squeaks, correction of dents (including bell and 1st pipe* bell disassembly), solder correction on 2nd pipe, balance adjustment, re-lubrication with oil and grease.

Item rank: B: Fairly scratched and used, but no problems in normal use.
Serial number: 00149596
Accessories: general-purpose hard case (missing MARCATO* key), neck strap
