All,
I've been looking for my first tenor and finally found what I thought was a deal. Picked it up for $500. It included the YTS-61 body (more on this), neck (not sure if Yamaha), Brilhart Special Ebolin tenor mouthpiece, soft DEG case and neckstrap.
It plays but definitely harder to produce a good sound. Hit and miss (definitely more on the miss side) at the bottom register. So, definitely some work required to get this back into real playing order.
What I'm not sure about is the neck and body. After more careful inspection, I did notice some solder work and I'm not sure if both the neck and body are true YTS-61 parts.
It would be great if someone can confirm for me that it is indeed the YTS-61. See Pictures below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
saxtqt
