    I had the amazing experience for this purchase. It was was very well organized. Seller communicated properly and I felt really good about shipping from Japan to Europe. Also, it was packed really well so when I received it, I was very happy with the condition of the purchase because it’s music instrument and it’s very fragile. I would like to recommend this seller for everyone.

    the seller was very prompt in answering shipment questions, as no notification for tracking was sent by the shipping company. It arrived promptly nonetheless, and was packaged extremely well and with no broken pieces. The product is in good order and working great.

    Excellent

    The saxophone I bought looked good and any had a few minor issues like pads. The box was in used vacuum box but there was ample amount of styrofoam everywhere to keep it safe.

    it's ok for a beginner

    I took it to a luthier who replaced the pads, cleaned it up, ........and since it came without the mouth piece , ligature nor end plug I had to purchase them........ ............I' m just a beginning student and dont know everything about it yet, and when first played it, there was no sound on some of the keye.........also the sound was not normal and in key- - - - - but that's mainly because of my need to learn how to produce good tone............... In time I'll learn how to play, and also be able to rate the instrument.

  • Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Saxophone

    These are good saxophones for most players. I choose something else for my personal instrument though many people I am buying horns for want a Yamaha. My clients don't really understand the difference between a YAS 21 and the Yas 23. The 23 has more advanced technological features. The 21 is easier to fix. I buy mostly 21s because I am exporting them to Guatemala. Easier to fix is an advantage there. Here in the States, the 23 is probably a better buy though the price is generally high. Repair techs here already are familiar with the adjustments on a 23. I argue about the sound of Yamaha saxophones in general. I find the sound generic sounding. I compare it to some of my preferred horns and it really is generic sounding. It makes noise on G#. All of them I've played made that ...

  • Used Yamaha YAS 23

    My daughter had a Selmer student sax for 3 years and it was only recently that her teacher suggested that she upgrade to the YAS 23. I bought it for her used here on eBay and I got it and had it regulated and cleaned. She has only used it for one class and she could immediately tell the difference in the quality. She LOVES it! I bought her a Vandoren mouthpiece and a Rovner dark ligature to go with it and the result of the combination of it all was just amazing for her. It is so much easier to play now and she has a renewed fervor for playing music. I only gave it 4 stars because she has only used it once. I want to see if the instrument holds up to more use in the future.

  • Yamaha yas-23

    Read many great reviews on this sax and decided to try it. It was a used sax and some wear but it plays wonderful. Didn't want to spend a lot on a sax being it is for my 11 year old son , just starting to play. We were renting a different sax but because of the large buyout we decided to buy a used one instead. The Yamaha has a nicer sound and plays better. Our son doesn't even want to use his rented sax. Very happy with the quality of the Yamaha sax. Great beginner sax!
