[QUOTE="Crevy, post: 562269, member: 9975"] Well, they're obviously a well known maker or used to be. I'm just inquiring about it. It's on Reverb. I'm more interested in tone, then probably anything else. If I have to wait a little bit of extra time in the future, if I need it to be serviced, I don't mind that wait, if it means I'm going to get a great tone. I feel like Yamaha as great of a company as it is, and I own many of their products and rave about them. I feel like that they are, or may be more along the lines of say, an Ibanez guitar when it comes to tone. As for guitar I own a few Ibanez, and they're great guitars, but if you want tone, I recommend going with a Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster or a Gibson Les Paul. There's great tones in a lot of other guitars, but those three are the main core and any guitarist worth their salt will tell you that. Something I came across that caused me to look for this sax: "Buescher Aristocrat Best for: A warmer, classic, "round" jazz and blues tone. Historical context: Models made before 1960 are highly regarded by professional players and can often be found for under $1,000. These horns are known for their exceptional tone quality." Just some thoughts. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000078939.webp"]30278[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
