Its a high bar to spend a few weeks with a saxophone and try to either refresh and duplicate or improve every nuance of a horn that has been an extension of another human being for 30 years, but I didnвЂ™t choose to do what I do for a living because its easy.

In any case, this saxophone looks and feels great, and I am as excited as I ever get to see what the owner thinks of it. Like a reliable little Honda, its hard not to fall in love with such a trusty steed.

It just does what you ask, and gives me the feeling that it will be quite a long time before it needs work again. Quite a nice horn to play, and quite an easy horn to play. Post-overhaul, the horn feels snappy under the fingers, quite comfortable ergonomically, and the sound is even and powerful without being too bright. Luckily these more traditional techniques have been something I have been paying special attention to over the past few years, and I am beginning to believe more and more that high-quality natural cork is a fantastic material when used intelligentlyВ but that is a topic I will address elsewhere at a later date. The owner of this horn absolutely loves this saxophone and did not want anything to change (except to improve it), so I went with a fairly traditional setup, keeping nearly everything OEM style, including plastic domed resonators, synthetic cork for adjustments, and natural cork for a lot of key feet. The overhaul went quite smoothly as you might expect for a modern Yamaha that had been babied, and the end result was satisfying indeed. I suppose that the original owner still owned and played it should have given me a clue, but it took getting the horn in my hands and overhauling and playing it to become a believer. But he would not be dissuaded, and wanted me to go full-bore and make the horn as perfect as I could. This one is not that old (from the 1980s) AND it had been kept in immaculate condition by its original owner- it would have been a fairly easy thing to repad it for a lot less almost anywhere else- which I told the owner. This is not the kind of horn I typically work on- while I do see saxophones all over the map when it comes to market value, typically I am working on horns that are quite a bit older than I am.

I do have to admit when the owner told me he wanted a full mechanical rebuild and was willing to wait on my waitlist, I was a little surprised. But in playing, this is a really great saxophone.

Originally marketed as an intermediate horn, much like the Yamaha YSS-475 intermediate soprano it is actually every bit as professional in playing as its big brother, the 62, with the only notable subtractionsВ to my mind (though there are quite a few differences) being the lack of engraving and plastic key touches rather than genuine pearl.
