I’ve managed to expand the range a tiny bit more: all the palm keys down, including the high F#, lets me voice an E, a bit out of tune.But the paper trick made it immediately possible for me to voice the first three overtones on low notes (octave, octave+fifth, 2-octave) where before I could only hit the first two of three it expanded the range of how high I can voice those overtones and it made a problematic altissimo much, much more clear and straightforward. If it’s still loose, I’d get the neck re-corked. If you’re not up for steaming the cork to get it to expand, then a piece of paper wrapped around it ought to do the trick. This will make it hard to play overtones and voice altissimo notes properly. Make sure the cork on the neck of your horn is not compressed to the point where the mouthpiece is even slightly loose.Once again this saxophone has no Yamaha logo on the bell! The horn says Yamaha YTS 61 right above the serial number, and you can see the Yamaha branded logo on both the bell to body brace and the neck!Īs well once again this saxophone has an extremely strong patina and many might think this is a very ugly, very used saxophone.Īll that being said, that's why im pricing this so competitively ready to sell.UPDATE (31 July 2013): Well, I haven’t made much progress on developing this chart, so I haven’t updated the PDF, but I can report a few discoveries: This saxophone has no Yamaha logo on the bell. This sax has its fair share of scratches, knicks, dings, dents, repair marks, weld marks, fleabites, red metal wear, and other anomalies associated with such a used horn. This saxophone is being sold as used and has an extremely strong patina throughout the entire saxophone. This horn is not one of those, these were built with great starting materials, attention to detail and complete Yamaha craftsmanship from the bottom to top.
Horns made of low quality parts made to be as cheap as possible student horns. When you compare everything else in this price range theirs alot of very cheap and poor made modern horns made. This is a perfect option for an affordable tenor! Professional tenor sound and feel at the price of a student tenor. Im confident this horn is priced right in the pocket to sell priced as is sooner rather then later! While there are many fantastic affordable alto saxophone options, when it comes to tenor saxophones its really quiet expensive to get into a nice horn.
The Yamaha 61 was the predecessor to the current professional model Yamaha 62! These saxophones are fantastic Japanese built horns that sound amazing and play great! For sale is a Yamaha YTS 61 Tenor Saxophone
