![]() Yamaha Yas-62 Alto Sax (serial number 351898) in a black protec case. I've always been told that there is no specific rhyme or reason for their numbering system and no records have been kept as far as manufacture or sales dates. Stolen together with a Yamaha YBS-52 bari and a YSS-475 soprano one year later. I've spoken with folks at Yamaha who should have knowledge of such things. I have YFB-621 F tuba #100257, so I think that this means that my horn is the 257th example of the little F tuba ever to have been made and it happened to have been made during or after 1988 - and NOT that it was the 257th example made since January of 1988 (excluding all the others made prior to 1988). Would the next horn of that specific model, being made on the first production day of 1988, then be 104823 or 100001, again, for that model? I think it the SN would continue in order, with only the "1" being added to the top. If horn 4822 of a given model is made on the last production day of 1987 it would be 004822. What no one has made clear to me is this: ![]() ![]() 100000 was not where they were numerically in 1988. The "1" at the beginning is simply a marker that designates that the horn was made after 1988. ![]() That was the 714th horn of that design made. ![]() Im also very appreciative of pdf scans of any Yamaha related marketing material, brochures, catalogs, advertising and even instrument owners manuals.

Yamaha doesn't sequentially number their instruments like other manufacturers (except perhaps their guitars and basses) So if you contact Yamaha, you may be able to get someone to look up the information and tell you when and where it was manufactured, but it's not simply a matter of sequential numbering, thus posting a list to a website or comparing one number to other known numbers and their dates of manufacture (or purchase) is really quite useless.
