Came across the beauty recently and couldn't turn down the opportunity to compare my Reference 54 and Yani 991. Ultimately, I'm happy with what I have. IMO, the build quality of Yanagisawa is top notch and comparable or surpasses the other Big Four.

Known for its superb intonation, effortless response, and refined tonal quality, this horn is a top choice for advancing students, professionals, and collectors alike. Cosmetically, it's lived a full life and the photos tell the story, so definitely check that. Otherwise, it's been fully setup by my favorite tech: replaced several pads, got rid of noisy/sloppy keyword, replaced several springs, etc. The case is an older molder hard case, but note there's a small hole in the back-- it seems very very sturdy otherwise.

Features: Hand-crafted Japanese construction Solid brass body with elegant engraving Ergonomic keywork for comfortable playability Exceptional intonation and smooth response across all registers Rich, full-bodied tone ideal for both jazz and classical performance
