This is a super clean professional Yamaha 61 tenor sax made in Japan approx 1970 (4 digit serial number) - some lacquer wear, knocks etc. but plays incredibly well!

Yamaha starting producing saxophones in 1967 after a 4 year development program and these first models ooze quality - a real competitor to the Selmer models being produced at the same time. The early 4 digit 61s are considered to be the finest made Yamahas ever made - big, dark edgy tone - the later ones tend to play a little brighter.

The nearest new equivalent would be the modern 62 saxes but in reality if Yamaha were to re produce the 61 using the same materials and crafting it would be triple the price!

Just had a full strip wash polish and full rebuild service (£250 cost) by our in store sax tech - this instrument plays perfectly and comes with our famous 12 month warranty!

Comes complete with super clean Yamaha hard case.

*REFURBISHED - a refurbished instrument has (at the very least) been stripped, washed, cleaned, polished, professionally rebuilt and set up to play perfectly.
