Thank you for the email! Unfortunately our database only extends back about 15 years so I am unable to tell you the exact year of manufacture for the YCL-24. With an educated guess I can say that it was most likely manufactured in 1975 or 1976. Here is some more general information about the YCL-24:
Model: YCL-24N Years: 1972-1978 Key: Bb Body Material: ABS Resin Key Plating: Nickel Bore: 14.70mm Current Model: YCL-20
Thanks.

Man, I LOVE the internet and e-mail. Eighteen hours between urgent question and answer. Thanks to Brian of Yamaha for his speedy reply.
BOL, at that price, the horn seems to be a very good buy. Yamaha makes excellent products. Enjoy the horn.
