View attachment 2170 View attachment 2172View attachment 2171 Here's one I made this morning!
If anyone would like one I can let you have one for £5 plus postage - all monies donated to the Pete's Charity.
Hi Greg No it hasn't come through.Hi Griff,
I sent you a PM about the brass extension, but I have trouble with the messaging system so I don't know whether it worked or not (?)
Regards,
Greg S.
Sounds logical Griff, and sticking with 62s here - there are non purple logo Mk1s made around the same time ,
This is exactly what you need.Can you post a photo of the bell engraving and where the logo should be, plus the octave key logo and first two S/N digits? Have you asked Yamaha what year it is? I take it that it has the long "J" bell key guard?
Thanks to you and saxlicker for (hopefully) helping me. I am only being nosey; I love my alto and would just be interested in celebrating its birthday.Can you post a photo of the bell engraving and where the logo should be, plus the octave key logo and first two S/N digits? Have you asked Yamaha what year it is? I take it that it has the long "J" bell key guard?
Ah that makes sense. Thanks. So.... that makes it a Mark I between 1979 and.... 1991 (when I bought it...) ?Simples... You have a purple logo 62
The previous owner rubbed it off.
That blank area is right where the logo belongs. The Stamped early one and the later face lift were different than your picture.
Have a look at this

Indeed it does and your serial number (despite the lack of sequential sense employed by Yamaha) ought to be a pretty early one right?Ah that makes sense. Thanks. So.... that makes it a Mark I between 1979 and.... 1991 (when I bought it...) ?
He's already done that.... They said it wasn't in their database.@cavilln - if you send an email to Yamaha with the serial number, they will tell you the date of manufacture:
UK.Support@contact.europe.yamaha.com
Thanks guys the folk at Yamaha were very helpful and asked for more pictures to try to date it. They confirmed that the logo had been rubbed off but couldn't date it more accurately than 'early 1980s'.He's already done that.... They said it wasn't in their database.
Well, if you are serious looking at this
I would guess your best description would be that you have a
1980's Vintage YAS 62.
