For sale is this excellent condition Mark VI style Yanagisawa S800 Straight Soprano with the original casea vintage Yanagisawa 5 mouthpiece, a super comfortable plastic thumb hook, and the original keys to the case. This saxophone is in excellent condition and everything is original. Many sax players say this sax is a strong equal to the Mark VI which it is modelled after. It has a high F# and the tuning is great! I have personally used this instrument at national saxophone and band events.

Side Note: The mouthpiece is a cool vintage Yanagisawa 5 sax mouthpiece with a .054 tip opening, straight side walls, and a small round chamber. It resembles an Otto Link. Works great for classical and jazz music.
This model is a Mark VI style with a more comfortable plastic thumb hook, D shaped strap ring, and the "Yanagisawa" label engraved on the body. It features a high F# key and the Mark VI style "in line" LH palm keys which can take some getting used to. This horn plays great with a sound similar to a Mark VI. 
This sax was purchased in February 2014 from Joe Sax in New Jersey. It was regulated and adjusted before I received it.
It will need a slight adjustment after being shipped, as does any sax after being shipped.
Its original gold lacquer finish is 98% with only slight lacquer wear and a few of the usual light scratches from normal wear and tear. There are no dents, dings, or re-solders. There is no evidence of any past repairs or trauma to this horn.  The body is nice and straight.  

Will ship with the original case
Buyer pays shipping, Ebay, and the PayPal fees. However, I may also aid the buyer with some costs.
Please contact me for any questions and I am glad to send additional pictures if requested!
