500XXX doesn't follow any Yani numbering trends that I'm familiar with. However, their stencil horns sometimes vary the numbering scheme.

Does that stencil seem ring a bell ?? I'm sure it's a yani with the logo and all!! I thought i would throw it out to see if someone has seen a similiar

s ax ....it plays quite well..was almost tempted to use it one the gig tonight . Used the the mark6 instead!!

The Yani logo is pretty unmistakable, and the Continental was made by Yanagisawa for . . . can you believe it . . . CONN. But then again, Yanagisawa made the Pennsylvania for . . . SELMER! :lol:

Your right , Fred...i Had forgot about that....I've never seen a Pennsylvania!! That would fun.

I just ran across another Yani Continental - this time a "1000" above the serial number. If it follows the Yani s/n scheme, it is from 1968 - 2268XXXX.
