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 an expressive feel to elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists.
The YTS875-EXS has been developed over several decades of painstaking research and trials involving some of the world's greatest saxophonists. Featuring a smooth response and a refined sound full of rich colours. It has a reassuringly solid feel yet a quick and nimble playing action, a wide dynamic range, stunning projection, and an authoritative tone with a beautifully designed tonal core.
The brass body is left unlacquered and plated with beautiful bright silver plating. The lack of lacquer does mean occasional cleaning with a silver cloth is required to maintain the finish. However, the added layer of resonant precious metal gives more projection and a wonderful extra dimension to the sound.
The Beauty of Silver Plating
The gradual formation of patina on silver-plated saxophones imparts an exceptional charm and character to the instrument. It's a captivating visual transformation as the saxophone evolves and matures with time.
It is important to acknowledge that although silver polish cloths are available, the natural process of tarnishing cannot be completely halted.
Within just a few days, you will start to witness the beginning of this transformation. It's worth noting that many instruments we receive from the factory have already started tarnishing.
