Reluctantly selling my much loved alto. Serial number 092693, made in Japan. I believe this to be a transitional model between the purple logo and the second series 62's…there certainly wasn't any discernible difference between it and my old 'purple logo' 62, except that this one played a lot better. It also played a lot better than my old Selmer VI, come to that! It's a beautiful, well cared for horn which blows like a dream and I am so sad that it has to go: my collection has to shrink.
What else can I say? ,,,it's a professional horn; everything a Yamaha should be- and then some!
I shall of course donate 5% of the sale price to Pete's charity.

Great sax, good price too. You must be keeping something fantastic to be selling this

 

[Paul Warner]

O.k….no bites so far so I am bringing the price down to a vary realistic and generous £1100. Please let me know if this isn't a good price for a beautifully playing horn in superb nick!

Hi Paul
Is your Alto still available? I may have a student that is interested/

thanks

Dave

 

[Paul Warner]

Yes, Dave. However, I am away in Madeira from this coming Sunday until December the 8th.

 

[littleplum]

Ok Paul, I will contact my student and let him know. Let me know when you are back, my email is dave.saxteach-at-yahoo.co.uk

Cheers
Dave

Please can you confirm if this is still for sale

Thank you

Jx

 

[Paul Warner]

Yes……but there is a potential buyer at the moment, Jx.

 

[Jeanette]

Ok thanks, please let me know if it sells and I'll close the thread

[Paul Warner]

It strikes me that another possibility here is a swap for a decent Yamaha student alto' with a cash balance. That way I've still got an alto' for the odd blow!

 

[Graybilly]

Is this still for sale?
Thanks
B

 

[Paul Warner]

Yes, it is B. However I am away in London for 10 days from tomorrow (18th)

 

[Graybilly]

What time are you going? If I could come and see it before you go. B.

 

[Paul Warner]

I am off quite early tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will still be here when we return on the 28th!

 

[Jeanette]

Please can you confirm if this sax is still for sale

Thanks

[Paul Warner]

Yes Jx….and I cannot understand why such a fine alto hasn't been snapped up. Perhaps some viewers don't realise that it has been reduced to £1100! I would consider a fair offer, but already feel that it's a bargain!

 

[Paul Warner]

I really can't understand why this superb alto has not sold. If you feel that you'd like to make an offer…please do so. MAYBE YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING A BIT CHEAPER, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU'LL FIND ANYTHING MUCH BETTER! That's a reasonable statement because I think it's one of the best alto's I've ever played, and certainly better in my book then my old much vaunted Selmer VI. It's immaculate, and it's a real player no matter what your style!
I'd like it to go to a good home. So, if the price is a bit daunting, and you're genuine…..try me!

Prices have dropped across the board on all horns in the last twelve months

 

[Paul Warner]

Think you're right, Prof. Trouble is, what have they dropped to? There must be somebody who needs a really good alto at much less than a dealer would charge them.
Anyway… offers please at whatever you think is the right price, dear reader!

 

[ProfJames]

I wasn't trying to be a smart arse either. It annoys me as well. It appalls me what people expect to pay for the big name horns. However....hang onto it if you can. Good luck
