Yamaha YTS-875S Custom Tenor Silver Plated

Description

I have a special place in my heart for this particular model of tenor because it is what I played in college and for several years after that. Out of all the Yamaha tenors, the silver 875 is the darkest that I have played yet. It has a more complex core tone than most Yamahas while preserving the excellent intonation and ergonomics that everyone wants in this brand. Plus it’s just gorgeous. This particular horn has some light scratches on the front of the bow and just a few other places. Besides that, it’s in excellent physical condition with no dents or dings or past repairs. The silver is basically all there and the horn really turns heads. The original 875’s weren’t made for very long in the early 2000’s, and they have been going steadily up in value over the last several years because they give you a sound that you can’t get on any other Yamaha. Definitely worth a look whether you’re looking for a great first tenor that is easy to play and beautiful, or whether you’re a long-time Yamaha fan looking for something a little different.
