【Wooden】Yamaha Tenor Recorder (YRT-43? / Model Number Unknown)

This is a Yamaha tenor recorder.

I received it about 30 years ago, used it for about a year, and then kept it in storage at home.

■ Model Number and Material
There is no model number engraved on the main body.
An old memo stored with it mentioned YRT-43, but
this is not confirmed, and the model number is unknown.

The surface has a glossy finish, but
the type of wood used is also unknown.
We cannot guarantee the model number or material in any way.

■ Condition
・Exterior:
This is a long-term storage item.
No major cracks or splits are visible, but
there is tarnishing on the metal parts.

・Operation:
We have only confirmed that the metal parts (keys) that are pressed by fingers
are currently movable.

■ Operation and Sound Output
• Sound output confirmed: We have confirmed that sound can be produced from bottom to top by covering all finger holes.
• Operation feel: The metal key parts move smoothly, and the pads (cushions on the back) seal tightly.
• Please note: As I am not a professional musician, I cannot answer questions about sound quality, pitch accuracy, or subtle playing feel. Please consider this item only as an instrument that produces sound and only if you understand that it is being sold as-is.

■ Accessories
・Hard case (with dirt and signs of use)
・Cleaning rod
・Grease (please assume it is unusable as it is over 30 years old)

This is a valuable instrument from 30 years ago, but I lack specialized knowledge and have not been able to perform detailed adjustments. Therefore, it is being sold as-is, with the understanding that maintenance may be required.

We kindly ask that those seeking perfect condition or those who do not understand the characteristics of old wooden instruments refrain from purchasing. Please consider purchasing only if you are satisfied with the photos and description.
