there's a law against that, isn't there?

I was just checking Gumtree, and this leapt out at me...

I always had my suspicions about those brass players, you know.

Aye, it's a subliminal message. Just like this one - https://www.gumtree.com/p/tradesmen-labour-jobs/french-polishers-needed-in-kilburn/1182390451

Unfortunate YAS 23 is a good instrument. I'd quite like a YTS23 or 25 (T = tenor)

I emailed the seller. Now we will see if I get a load of abuse back...

Title and text of the advert, for posterity...

"[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Yamaha YAS-23 Standard Eb Alto Saxophone[/font]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]The YAS-23 is levelled at student to intimidate but is also used by many pros. The saxophone is used but pads still make tight seal. Small amount of scratching at the front but hardly noticeable. Sounds just as good as the day it was bought. Comes with hard carry case and neck strap. Light weight and produces excellent sound.[/font]"

Hmmm, as a former Brass player - I would like to point out that a Sax is a Woodwind instrument.

This may, in fact, be the only way to get students to practise.

Being dyslexic I had to read the ad very carefully several times before I got the joke.
