Hi all,

I am a newbie in playing saxophone, starting last year.
A friend lent me his Yanagisawa, which he got from his wife as a birthday present "a couple of decades ago", as he said.
He played it for a couple of month's and sent it to rest until he gave it to me. (Actually he's a bassist.)
I eventually will buy it from him, but couldn't find any reliable information.
The serial number ist 00174052.
Here are the pictures.
Any help is appreciated.

Joachim.

Hi all,

thank you for your comments.
The sax has stainless steel springs.
I didn't check out the small screws on the pants protector yet.
BUT I was told that this saxophone is supposed to a 901, and this would, even if not true, raise the price significantly.
What should I do. Are there any very obvious features to identify it as NOT to be a 901?
And hence - what is it worth?

Joachim.
