I`ve very recently have dipped my toe into the Alto world (hence mooching around forums the past weeks) . I got a used TJ Classic as I didn`t know whether I`d take to alto or it`d just be a "Yeah, tried that" and stick with just tenor . as it happens I`m enjoying the range very much (though finding the high octave a re-learning curve a bit).
Anyway it looks like Alto will stay and although I`m usually not prone to GAS, I`d like a higher end horn and I`ve seen a few Yams on the dreaded site, a minty 09 vintage 62 for £1100 or Best offer (I`m sure they`d take a grand) and an 875 Custom at £700 with no bids on which looks like the perfect steal but the seller only has 3 feedback for buying only from March . (probably why no bids). Obviously the 62 is the safe bet and if the Alto is as nice as the Tenor I tried ages ago, I`ll love it. Question is, is this a good price for a recent 62 in excellent condition or is it better hanging in longer.. Thanks
