Since there has been no replies, I'm assuming this is elaborate enough? Let me know if I should add more.

There were also the early Allegro horns, the YTS and YAS 34 II. They were replaced by the 575.

Yes, I happen to have one of those. I didn't post them because they aren't in production anymore. |

I bought a YTS 32 Tenor and damned if if I can find anything about it.....
Besides being the best one I've had so far . The guy at the shop told me it as good as the pro one without the engraving. However I find it disturbing that their seems to be so little said ( written )about it. Anyone? |

Sorry for the late reply but...
The YTS-32 is a step up horn that I believe is only availible in Europe and Australia (correct me if I'm wrong anyone), but not here in the USA. I think is the case because the YBS-32 isn't to be found at any dealers in America also. I wouldn't call it as good as a pro horn, but it's a solid intermediate sax. |

Which is better? The YAS-23 or YAS-275?
The 275 is more expensive though... |

Louis,
It seems that the only models in CURRENT production here in the states are the 23, 475, 52 (only relating to baritone), 62, 82z, and 875. All the others seem like European market or international market, but not in the United States. Maybe you should make that clear in your list
