This tenor saxophone comes with the original neck that is in very good condition and has no evidence of pulldown. There are a couple of very minor dings that are from the octave key at the back of the neck. There is one very minor ding around the middle of the neck that is easier to feel than to see. It comes in its original case in good used condition. It comes with a new Yamaha mouthpiece, Rovner ligature, one new reed, and a good used neck strap. The horn plays beautifully up and down the register as you would expect from a Yamaha horn.
