Well, here's the YAS-21 I bought recently for £50 shipped. I had an idea to strip it and re-finish as jbtsax did here: http://cafesaxophone.com/community/...doesnt-need-to-look-like-a-student-sax.10720/
But, bearing in mind he said he wouldn't do another I'm having 2nd thoughts.... plus, I have another more "needy" project in the offing!
It needs some tech work on the pads below middle D, and maybe some very minor dent work. Maybe £50 all in.
Nickel work to keys is fairly good and could be left at just a polish.
But what shall I do with the brass body and neck? There is a smidgen of the Pruple Logo remaining which may be worth a little for provenance upon re-sale, and the Pruple neck logo is intact. If I refinish the body I'd lose the bell logo. So... I either simply clean it all up, or maybe polish the scuffed bow and bell guard areas back to shiny for re-sale.
Or... shall I just stick it on ebay as it is and see what happens?
