I bought a yts 61 brand new in 1973 or 74..I can't quite remember..anyway, I still play the horn , still enjoy it, and haven't found another tenor that I liked enough to get rid of this one. Great heft, lovely sound,..... it works for me.

i have a yas 62 i bought in 2002. action is really good, despite the fact that it lacks blue steel springs. my baby actually went through alot when i took it to many gigs, and also alotta marching band practices. despite that, my horn is very sturdy, and looks as if new. with my set up, I am really satisfied with my horn. I actually liked it better than the cannonball, mark 6, mark 7, and conn chu berry i tried. IF i trade my 62 for mark 6, i would only do so in order to get another 62, and then, some spending money. hahahaha.
