Like many of you, I am a Yani fan, and play 2 right now that are great horns, and tested several other great ones as well. I did have one bad experience though:
In junior high, approximately 1983, my parents bought a Yani step up (that's what the dealer called it-Leblanc was the distributor I think) alto to replace my Bundy alto. I do not know the model or the serial number. It was all gold lacquer, underslung neck, and came in a tan suede looking case.
It seemed fine at the time, but in retrospect, I recall it had a lot of resistance, and I developed some poor playing habits. (and maybe it was me and not the horn).
So-
1. Anyone know what model I had?
2. Have you ever played a bad Yani, and what was the experience?
