Selling my wonderful 1970s vintage Yamaha Custom YSL-841 large bore straight tenor.

.547 bore

Yellow brass

Excellent condition

Professionally (ultrasonically) cleaned

Signs of normal use throughout, but slide is dreamy (10/10)

Inner slide tubes replaced by first owner (I’m the second owner).

Yellow brass bell re-lacquered, but could (and should!) be re-stripped.

What’s special about this horn:

1. It plays like a dream, and the slide action is A-plus-plus.

2. It’s a rare bird. It was only available in the States for a brief period in the 70s.

3. I believe it pre-dates Yamaha’s Xeno line branding, but it’s 100% a Yamaha Custom (pro-quality) horn.

4. The quality was so top-notch, that Schilke Co. imported the same model, only with Schilke branding, directly from Japan, in the same time period.

No case.

Will ship CONUS only (sorry).

Asking price lowered to $950, shipped

lower price.
