The original were hand made, hand crafted and everything done by hand in Japan and play tested by top pro players before leaving the workshop or sending them out to sell.I am curious,what is about the desirability of these Yamaha's,is there a real difference between purple's and non purple's
On a lighter note if i put this purple logo on my sax will it give me a chocolatey sound.

Chris..

I don't think that is done today.
sorry, i was not clear, i was meaning 62'sI somehow get the feeling that this may not have been the case for the 21,23,25 & 32 Purple Logos (cost Prohibitive ?) .. all saxes are "hand crafted" to a large degree as far as I know, even the lowest chinese ones, unless someone has invented a machine where you throw brass sheet, leather, steel rods and a bucket of springs in one end and get a sax out the other :shocked: .
In the review of the 21 Alto Steve howard said the Purple Logo was a way Yamaha saved money as it was cheaper than engraving
To Quote "" An unusual aspect is the lack of engraving. I assume that Yamaha felt a saving could be made by dispensing with costly engraving on the bell, and in its place is a simple but elegant transfer"" ... Hmmmmmm Maybe the logo part of the equasion is Myth and it`s just that Yam were pro testing the 61s and 62s around that period ?
Don't think you'll feel so "jovial" once N-Power have carved you to ribbonsIf anyone's interested I'm selling a YAS-61 Pruple Logo, in excellent condition. Please see below....
Only joking!! Just thought I'd get the "haters" blood boiling. Calm down dears.....
