1980 Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Saxophone Brass Silver Made in Japan for America – Student Model Sax YAS 23 Jazz Band Horn Studio Stage Practice MIJ, Early Tuning Fork Logo (055233A)

– For your consideration is this vintage 1980 Yamaha YAS-23 alto saxophone.
– This particular early example, serial number 055233 A, is in very good cosmetic condition.
– It retains the original pads, with all buttons and levers working properly.
– The 0 prefix serial number suggests it’s early production, and the A suffix indicates it was made for export to America.
– Built with a clear-baked epoxy lacquer, nickel-plated keys, and all yellow brass neck, body, and bell, the Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Saxophone is a formidable entry in the world of entry-level woodwind instruments.
– Built with a host of features associated with more expensive models like leather pads with wool felt and Front F auxiliary keys, the YAS-23 is as comfortable on a marching band practice field as it is in a jazz club.
– The predecessor to Yamaha’s current student model, this sax’s place as a discontinued instrument makes it much more affordable and a great choice for starter musicians.
– The original ’70s style hard case is included.
