GOLD PLATED Yamaha Custom EX Alto Saxophone YAS-875EXGP
YAS-875GP gold plated alto saxophone in near mint condition and a fresh overhaul. This is a one owner saxophone which was originally selected between three gold plated Custom EX saxophones. The owner is a top Yamaha Performing Artist who took great care of the horn.
The overhaul was performed by Shelly Tanabe, who fitted the sax with Pisoni Pro pads. There are 4-5 original Yamaha pads that were deemed perfect at the time of the overhaul so weren't changed (side Bb, C, low Bb and low B). She's the best in the business, and the horn plays arguably better than new with her work.
Given the hefty price tag of new Custom EX saxophones (over $10,000 these days), this is a great way of getting a gold plated horn for a fraction of the cost of a new one.
