I just scored a MINT YAS62 in silver plate. Came with two cases and two mouthpieces! It was a nice get! Played great straight away! It really looks like a new horn! The cases both look new too! And found out my tech was the service tech with the previous owner! Nice!

I am pretty sure it's a regular 62 also. Not a 62II on the stamp even though the owners said they bought it new two years ago. It has a G1 neck.

From what I know about Yamaha altos, these are the most desirable of all (excluding current run models) due to Dave Koz's affinity for them.

I will post some pictures later tonight. I am pretty stoked! It matches my silver Z tenor!!!

I beleive, the 62II are stamped YAS-62.

My YAS 62IIS is stamped YAS-62.
I love my 62IIS, though.
Congrats on the new horn!

Cool, I have a 62 great horn. K

If it has a G1 neck and the lower key guard only covers the low B and Bb it is a 6211. I've owned a 62 and a 6211.

I think you have a 62II as well. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

The Land Cruiser is a sore subject! I bought that old truck to do 'guy stuff' with, but I can't keep the wife and kids out of it long enough to do my mods to it!

This is the "Nissan" in my name. Started this project before I married Still isn't done though.

Here it is when it was still working:

Haven't had the time or money to finish it.

(continueing down the "rabbit trail" a bit )

Yeah, it's fun, and expensive! Havn't touched the project since 2008! Been building a life with my wife, and house over our heads. In that time life has happened. My one constant (music) is what keeps me going, even when everything else falls apart or gets delayed!

The "working rig" pic is mostly stock on 33x10.5/15 BFG M/T. The work in progress is 39.5x13.5/16 and home built suspension (which still needs tweaking and final welds). The truck taunts me every time I go in the garage!

WOW, what a fantastic Silver 62. And with 2 bags. What's the price. I got a great urge right now to get another YAS. Maybe a 62 or another Z. The Yamaha feel and everything keeps me coming back to Yamaha.

Nice. I had a '97. 2.5" OME lift and ARB bumper. That's one cool looking rig with the ARB.

Sweet horn you got! I think this has already been established, but just to confirm - that's definitely a 62II. The original has a one-piece key guard for all the bell keys (low Bb,B,C#,C). Your horn also has the beefier neck receiver screw assembly - the old 62's is much less substantial.
