Bought another Yamaha.......this time a tenor saxophone. I am learning. Yamaha Music repeats the quality, value and usability of the motorcycle division.Attached File  IMG_20180109_160846588.jpg   221.18KB   0 downloads

My nephew wrote music for one of the Honda TV adverts; that's enough Honda to be going on with around here.☺ It is a tenor, and I saved plenty by buying 2nd. hand.

My bad - I think I was thinking of Bass then...with the full loop in the neck.

 

Used to play Alto year ago...never kept it up, which I beat myself up about...not sure I remember enough to pick one up now...

My kids say the same thing about not playing for years. I just say give it a go, if you feel like doing so. I have got myself into a jazz band (U3A which accepts late starters) after 15 months of learning. It's fun, and I am all for that!

I had to look that up. Watched a Youtube video. He was rather in awe of the instrument - "the dash 1 version". It sounds lovely. I have a Ventura 12 string that has a similar design (American design, Japan made).

Looks nice ! Had a Yamaha guitar once, quite good one :-) Yamaha guitars and basses have a reputation for being good alhough I have never met someone who loved one :-)

The Yamaha Pacifica is a really highly rated guitar for the money.  For someone wanting a 'budget' guitar you can't go wrong with one.

 

They don't compete with the likes of Gibson or Fender for high end stuff though.

The Yam is perfect right through the range. Emissions can cause some consternation though.
