Hello -
I just joined the forum and searched a bit for information on this student line model. I'm 49, and a trumpet player, but am wanting to switch things up and learn the tenor. I've been renting for a bit, and teaching myself. My current model is a YTS-200ADII. I've also been borrowing a YTS-580 Allegro this week, and want to try out the Selmer La Voix II (STS280RB) next week maybe.
Anyway, I saw a craigslist ad for a YTS-23 student model, but it appears from the many pictures to be in great shape. They're asking $750 which seems to be in line with what I've seen discussed here. ($600-800).
The link is here: https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/msg/d/battle-ground-yamaha-yts-23-tenor/6808055114.html
From what you can tell on the ad and the pictures, does this seem to be a good deal/reasonable/steal/etc.? I'm hoping to meet up with the seller in the next day or two and try to play it. TIA for your opinions!
