He literally has a basement that is filled with horns, some one of a kind prototypes. However my old friend and repair tech who travels frequently to Japan always manages to find something that cannot be found here, and then ships them by freight from there to his home to become part of his private sax collection. When I learned that Yamaha had updated their student line in Europe and Japan into the 280 series, I was excited to see and play them, but disappointed that it was only for Europe and Japan. It was followed by the 26 series, which kept up all the virtues of the 23 series, with some improvements, but otherwise was much the same, which is a good thing. The higher price tag was justified by it's reliability and its durability along with its resale value. They were the best by virtue of their focused sound, the solid build quality, and while more expensive than other student horns, also had the best resale value of them all. By now it is established that Yamaha raised the bar on student saxophones with the 23 series.
