    Description

    Nice vintage alto saxophone, this Astro-branded Yanagisawa A-4 model is in good condition for its age. If I decipher the serial 671177 correctly, it was made in June 1971 (happy 50th!). Made in Japan. Pads look good, a few smaller dings (see pics) but no major damage noted. Lacquer better than 80%, all keys move freely, normal wear for its age. Plays pretty well except altissimo (could be the mouthpiece I used or lack of skill). Will need looking over by a technician for any adjustments, pad replacement, etc. One of the early A-4's, from the middle of its production years. Nice horn with original (?) case but no mouthpiece. Accept payment by Paypal. Buyer pays shipping/insurance. THERE IS NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. Because of age, item sold AS-IS with NO RETURN so please ask questions BEFORE YOU BID. There is NO RESERVE so bid freely.
