This is a Yamaha 62 (YSS62) soprano saxophone in lacquered brass finish. Pitch and response are excellent, very clear and lively tone with an amount of warmth and depth that would make it
effective in various styles of music. Cosmetically, there is some lacquer wear and minor scratches on the ouside of the body, and quite a bit of wear on the lower inside of the bell, where I
would assume that a previous owner placed it repeatedly on a non-padded soprano stand. There is one ding on the lip of the bell, which cannot be seen clearly in the pictures, but seemed to
have caused a slight irregularity of shape, which I believe is visible when one looks closely but has no effect on the playing.
