Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Saxophone (Made in Japan) YAS 23 Student Sax with 4C mouthpiece

You get everything shown in the picture except for the stand. You get the sax, the case, two mouthpieces (one is a nearly new Yamaha 4C), a cheap ligature.

Dy end cap, body pipe cleaner, one sealed reed and mouthpiece cap that doesn't fit too well. This is my personal sax. It would make a good choice for a student or beginner. It is one of the most popular choices for an economical, quality sax to start on.

Because it's already seen many years of use and survived you know you're not getting an inferior model that will in effect be disposable. It is also common enough that any sax repairer should be familiar with this model.

This sax is in good playing condition. Everything mechanically works, pads are good, but I would suggest replacing any corks and felts. When I bought it about two years ago, this one played the best in the shop out of four used saxes, even compared to another YAS 23 in nearly new condition. Not minding the cosmetic issues, I chose the well used, but better-sounding horn. It was checked out by the music store I bought it from and certified as a good band instrument by them.

They changed any pads that it needed but didn't do any of the minor work like replacing corks and felts. There is also a couple of dents on the bow and the bell also was dented.

You can choose to have those repaired or ignore them if you want. Also note in the pics, where the lacquer has worn away. This also doesn't affect the playing. It has wear but does the job. The case is also missing two of the four rubber feet on the bottom, but the case still stands fine. Will be carefully wraped tightly in the case with bubble wrap.

The hard plastic sax case will also be packed carefully in a sturdy cardboard box. I will make a video of me playing the sax through a chromatic scale if requested.
