Hi All,

I have just purchased a Yanagisawa A990 alto. I think it's really good. I wondered what other people felt.

Thanks,

Robert

You'll grow to love it Robert.Mine's an A990-u,intermediate model to A991,and it is great.Anyone saying it is bland can't be talking about the horn.
You made a great choice in a modern horn and aren't expensively priced.Many members sing their praises.Do some reading up in the Yanagisawa section on this forum.

I play a black A990. Love it! It sounds so good, I'm pretty sure it has a parabolic bore.

Oh the confines of language.Forgive use of the word intermediate,I meant transitional,therefore A990u,a model in transition.

Is the 990u exactly the same as the 991? If not, what's different?

A990u
Light rose coloured pearls
Pearl front F key
Honey coloured laquer
Plastic thumbrest and thumbhook
In a previous post,I asked forum members if there was a slight difference in tonehole placement,that I had read somewhere,with no reply.
