Vintage 1980s YAS 23. Very good condition. Fully play tested.

Repadded July 2025; key corks, felts, and several springs replaced as needed, service cost of $400-$600.

Solid horn, well maintained and cared for, it's served me well for many years. This is the era with several smart mechanism improvements, the adjustable F to G# linkage for example. This is essentially a professional Yamaha horn of the era; differences are almost all cosmetic.

Surface / lacquer issues as seen in photos.

Will be securely packed and shipped insured for the full purchase price.
