If you're new to sax, I'd recommend the Yamaha. It's a very bright sounding horn as well (whereas the TT is typically much darker). If it's in good condition, its intonation will be very accurate across the full range, and it'll last forever. Are you ready for that and/or do you want to have to deal with that (potentially)? Again, it's not a 100% rule for TTs, but it happens.Ī YTS-32 is a precision instrument. You might end up really having to fight the horn to stay in tune. Here's the thing though: older horns often have a lot of intonation issues. I had a late 20s TT for over a decade before I decided to move on. That being said, the Buescher true tone is a great vintage horn. But if you're just looking at pictures, you should be financially prepared to do a full overhaul.
