Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacment necks for a Yamaha 
tenor? There seem to be more choices that I realized.

Does anyone have a neck they would be willing to part with?

There is a company making wooden necks... any info?

Thanks,
Herschel McWilliams

It seems that a Yanagisawa neck will do a pretty good job on a Yamaha.
Never tried it myself. 

On my Pre Chu Berry the Yanagisawa neck performs great and is better
in tune then a original neck.

Cheers.

Tim Price, the most requested clinician for Selmer, and great all around 
woodwind player, uses the wood necks.  I think they are made in Turkey.  
He loves it.

Herschel, email me directly, I'll put you in touch with Tim.

Necks are something I have studied and experimented with for years. They are
the heart of the saxophone's sound, IMHO. They are absolutely NOT
interchangable or "one size fits all". There are MANY variables, and you
should carefully research any changes you are considering.

They're made in Greece, and don't fit or work on every horn. However, they
ones they do fit get pretty interesting results. They're expensive, and you
have to take care against cracking (I've seen some that have split), but
they play nicely on recent production Selmers. The sound they produce is a
matter of taste: Some like it, some do not.

Necks do make a difference.  But I have always prefered my original 
necks to others I have tried, unless the original was dented a lot.
