Hi I'm looking to buy a tenor saxophone and I saw that there were two yts 52s for sale, they both look like they are in very good condition but one has sort of a wing like engraving thing under the yamaha logo while the other one doesn't. the one with the small engraving is more expensive, just wondering if the one without the engraving is a newer 52 making it less desirable or if they are more or less the same. Sadly I have no way of trying out these saxophones because I will be buying online.

Thanks!

Only the no-engraving image came through.

I do believe that some of these were made in Japan and some in the US. The US ones have an "A" in the serial number. Reports indicate that both are great.

How much are they?

My tech says he wishes everyone would buy a YTS-52, because then he'd never be out of work. Claims they don't hold up well. Then again, he's been trying to sell me a YTS-62 that he has on consignment, so...
