Bought my first Yammy in 82/83 it was a YAS 32 - Gold lacquer with nickel plated keywork, it was a very plain horn. It didn't have adjustment screws on the keywork, but I can't remember if had engraving on the bell.A few years later, must've been 88/89, I bought an early model YAS 62. But I kept the 32 as back-up horn for many years.The YAS 62 horn definitely had engraving on the bell with the Yamaha logo and the Yamaha blurb with the serial number on the body above the thumb rest. I'm pretty sure that the G1 necks came later. (Ads has confirmed my suspicion in the meantime with his post above) I still have the original neck from that horn as it fell off a dodgy stage at a wedding gig and I replaced the damaged neck with a new one.The original neck sits in my bookcase along with memorabilia from days gone by and has no markings whatsoever except for the circular Yamaha logo 'thingy' glued into the octave key.Agree with Ads could well be a 62 body with a 32 bell and a G1 neck.

Sometimes they smuggle rare Amazonian pygmy Tapirs aimed at the pet industry into Cardiff instead of more watched ports, as we all know these tiny Tapirs love nothing more than kipping in saxophones which is why when you see Pygmy Tapir enclosures in pet shops, they include a sax-bell shaped bed. Maybe QWales and his accomplice are in the pet industry and were importing these cute creatures - the give away that a horn has been used for this is leaking on the bell notes, as they love to nibble the pads.
