Any YAS-32 owners around? Some advice sought please.
I have been offered a vgc YAS-32 by a reputable second hand horn seller, p/x for my YAS-25.
It is an early PL model with a 00XXX s/n, and nickel plated keys. Said to be playing without an issue, good pads and mechanics.
I replaced my YTS-25 with a YTS-32 because I was impressed by its tone - richer and fuller than the 25. Does the YAS-32 also have a richer tone than the YAS-25? My YTS-32 is an early second generation non-PL model without a tilting table or adjustable thumb rest; the YAS-32 is a first generation PL model ~1980's. With the nickel keywork it looks like a 23 (I didn't know the 32s had nickel option).
It was £725 down to £650, p/x the YAS-25 and it will be £400. I'm sure I could get more on eBay but it's a hassle and there are several 25s sitting there at present.
I may be able to get a 7-day trial which is probably the best bet, and see and hear for myself if the difference is worth it. Any thoughts welcome.
