I just got a new sax yesterday. It's a Yanni that was brought to the US by Martin. It's about 15 years old, but it's so cool. It's pro level with Low A, which is awesome. I couldn't put it down yesterday. And it came with a Pro-Tec case, which is what I've been wanting to get for a while. I'm pretty excited about it.

Very nice, Buffalobari. :smile:

How much did you pay for it(if you don't mind me asking?) Do you have any photos?

No photos yet. Sorry.

I ended up paying $2100 for it. That included shipping and the like. They kicked in a couple of reeds and neckstrap, but I gave them away. I have a good neckstrap, and the reeds were too soft for me. But it was still pretty cool.

Yeah, I'd like to see some pics also! I guess I'm still exicited abourt the YBS-52 I got recently also! I'll get some pics up for that as well. I had to pay a lot more ($3000) for mine, but it's in mint condition! I also remember getting some requests for the sound of it with the Berg 115/3/m mpc I got with the horn. I'm playing it with Plasicovers and it's a real honker!!!! I love it! Now I have to figure out how to post sound clips.
