I can answer any questions you might have about playing the saxophone. I cannot answer questions related to the value of saxophones. I will just tell you to go to a music store and get it appraised. Determining the value of a Saxophone depends on the sound, condition, and many other factors, and I cannot just venture a guess about how much it is worth.

Hello Beau, This sax is very popular as a beginning model and has a high resale value! Yamaha's make the top student sax in the world. The YAS-23 is worth $1750, brand new, although, I saw a new one on

2009-11-18 Yamaha Tenor:

Your tenor sax is a good horn - it could bring about $1,000 (or more) in good condition. The Dukoff is trickier to value but I'm going to say it could bring around $200 based on what's out there now
