I've got one of these, though mine is a T-5 or t-500. It's the real deal. The yani signs on the octave mechanism (red) and the one near the serial # are giveaways. Also if you play it, it's a yani!!!
Mine doesn't have the yanagisawa name anywhere, just Severin and the yani logo on the octave mechanism and near the serial #. It also has Japan written near the serial number...
Photos, please...photos. If there is no Yani insignia on key and/or serial area, the only way to identify definitely is via photos.
As it reads T-4, this would incline one to think it's a Yani. But thing is, T-4's were around for quite a while and they went thru a few iterations (keywork design changes significantly)
Astro, Dorado, Artist. I’ve seen these. My T4 has Astro engraved on the bell
The Yani lyre logo should be on it somewhere even it is just a stamp on the body.
