I'll be in the LA area soon, and would like to try some new bari saxes, especially the Yanag.991. I've called The Horn Connection, Baxter-Northup, Zep's, and two Sam Ash stores in the area, but nobody carries Yanagisawas. Anybody know where I could demo one of these beauties?
Many thanks,
Matt

If you can't find a 991 in L.A. you might consider having one shipped to your home for a try-out. WW/BW just got three in last week. I've got one on order (should get it later this week) so they might still have two in stock. I think they now give you 45 days to try the horn out before you're committed to buying it. Pretty good deal. The downside is the return shipping if you decide not to buy. Big horn like a bari plus insurance is going to cost a few bucks. But I think it's worth it if you can't find one within a reasonable drive. I live near D.C. so South Bend, Indiana is out of the question.
