      Yesterday I practiced on my Tenor a Yamaha YTS-62 number 042321 and wondered about its weight. According to the kitchen scale it is 3,6kg exactly (fully assembled). Does anyone have a newer version of this sax? I was wondering if the construction has become lighter over time. What would a Bari weigh in at?
      My Alto YAS-26 seems to be smaller and lighter each time I play it – LOL!

          Hi Wayne – my generous friend from Chicago! I’ve just weighed my Yamaha Alto YAS-26 @ 2,420kg, so that’s around 1,2kg less than my Tenor.
          Perhaps Jake will tell us what his Bari weighs?

              Hi Wayne. To convert to lbs multiply by 2.205 so my YAS-26 would be 5.3 lbs.

              No, this puppy is an Amstaff, I couldn’t find a regular Staffie pup at a reasonable price.

              He was born on 11-11-2015 and for a better picture see the post

              Growling on the sax in the summer heat makes me so tired!

                      I know how you feel Wayne, I still miss my previous staffie – Wilbur, who died of old age just before midnight on 31st December 2007.

                      My previous dog avatar was a little prophetic, because I now have a full grown Rottweiler and a little pup.
                      They tend to stare at each other in the same way as those two dogs in the picture.

                      Dogs are wonderful animals.
