This is a Yamaha student model, recommended for beginners. It features an E mechanism for easier playing of the third octave E, and is fully silver-plated for a soft tone. There are some minor plating imperfections (small bumps) overall (see photos). While not severe, it's recommended for those who aren't overly concerned about the appearance. Otherwise, there are no other areas of concern. The case is also in relatively good condition. For this listing, the instrument has been completely disassembled, with faulty parts replaced and readjusted. There are no issues with the sound production, and it's ready to play immediately. ◎ We welcome your price requests and any other inquiries in the comments.
