Which model A500 - A800 ?

[jyrkiman]

I'm selling a Selmer Reference 54 and been offered a Yanagisawa alto as partial payment. I got a picture and serial number (00130831 = 1985-86) which refer to a A800 model. However it has a gold lackquered body and nickel plated keys which is a combination I've never seen before with Yanagisawa saxes (I've searched almost all sax forums and for sale ads with A500 and A800 pics).

I would appreciate having any info on model (pic attached) befere making a deal as I wish to sell The Yana as fluently as possile.

Could be the 500 series. They were marketed as an intermediate instrument and had nickel keywork.

Is there an A 5 by the serial number. My A5 looks like that but with gold lacquered keys. Could be the A500 high end student version.
