Yamaha YTS-82Z Custom without high F# key - Tenor Saxophone - Gold Lacquer - Ex Display
Description
Ideal for the most demanding jazz saxophonist
The 82Z captures the essence of those treasured classic saxes of the past, while adding state-of-the-art tuning and ergonomics.
Description
Yamaha Custom series saxophones are designed with some of the greatest players in the world and hand built by the cream of Yamaha's expert craftsman. Meticulously developed from the finest materials and built with innovative features, Yamaha Custom saxophones provide the rich sounds and expressive feel to elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists.
The Yamaha 82Z has a remarkably expressive sound with a solid core that comes as a result of the hand hammered bell. An improved low B - low C# connection ensures that the low C# closes securely, giving players real confidence when playing in the lower register. The VI neck helps to create a more expressive saxophone, made possible by the more open feel that this neck gives along with a wider dynamic range. Made of a special lighter weight brass alloy.
This model has been specially made without a high F# key, giving advanced players a distinct advantage - the sax is lighter and the sound will be tighter and more focused due to not having this extra disruption of airflow at this crucial junction of the sax.

Reviews
When I took it into the studio there was a new kind of intrinsic beauty that I hadn't heard in my other horns. This 82Z is far, far superior. Phil Woods
Please note: Yamaha does not allow us to sell you this saxophone if you live outside of the EU. We highly recommend browsing the exceptional range of Yanagisawa saxophones which are available for all international customers.
