itsmedunc Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Aye, it's a subliminal message. Just like this one - https://www.gumtree.com/p/tradesmen-labour-jobs/french-polishers-needed-in-kilburn/1182390451 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Unfortunate YAS 23 is a good instrument. I'd quite like a YTS23 or 25 (T = tenor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I emailed the seller. Now we will see if I get a load of abuse back... Title and text of the advert, for posterity... "[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Yamaha YAS-23 Standard Eb Alto Saxophone[/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]The YAS-23 is levelled at student to intimidate but is also used by many pros. The saxophone is used but pads still make tight seal. Small amount of scratching at the front but hardly noticeable. Sounds just as good as the day it was bought. Comes with hard carry case and neck strap. Light weight and produces excellent sound.[/font]" Edited August 23, 2016 by alyctes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
