Cant really get a value anywhere

Any ideas on what it would sell for? In original box and in very good condition, plays very well and pads are in good condition.

As usual there is variation on the value depending on in which country and if acquired by a private sales or from a shop.

In the NL this would be worth between €1500 to 2000

its worth and the asking price varies greatly - from past experiences

 

[james sax]

Yeah in the small amount of adverts the price has massively varied. I understand this is quite a sought after instrument.

 

[Hassles]

Sought after by some but not quite like a Buescher 400 or Selmer Mk1V or SBA or Pierret, or Cousenon etc etc

Starting around $1700 for good condition. Add a couple hundred bucks if better than good condition, subtract a few hundred if worse. I've bought horns described as "plays well" and "pads in good condition" that needed $300 worth of work to play at all.

I assume by "box" you mean case, not the original cardboard box the case came in.

I agree with others, a very good instrument but there is nothing to this particular model that has made a " cult" of it. It's a very good usable instrument but it is not so that there is a mob of people seeking them scouring the internet to find them ( by the way the models with a µ are even less common and offer a little extra special parts) . It's a good professional instrument but in the range where there are many, all different and all with their group of followers.

I ended up paying around $2500 for mine recently from a dealer. This was for near mint condition plus servicing and professional setup. So figure $2200+$300 service.

They are great value at the relatively low prices they seem to go for. There really isn't anything I don't like about mine that would make me want a more expensive horn. I have a purple logo YTS-62 and the T880 and (to me) they are two different flavors of perfect. The Yamaha cuts thru with a bit more edge and the Yani is richer but doesn't cut thru electric guitars as well.

Thanks for the advice and help everyone!!!
