Yamaha YAS-82Z Custom Z Alto Saxophone
— This one can really take you there... Custom Z Series Alto Saxophone in gold lacquer.This has to be one of the most exciting things to happen to the sax world in modern times. Finally a modern sax that actually captures the sound and feel of those treasured classic saxes of the past - while adding state-of-the-art intonation and mechanism. Based on the scale of the classic '62' models, the new Custom Z saxes have bodies that are made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing 'feel', and the kind of tonal flexibility you've always dreamed of. The Z plays evenly in all ranges, and gives you a huge dynamic range for as much - or as little - sound as you want. The Custom G1 neck helps produce a quick and agile response, while key action and placement feel just right. You can create whatever style tone you're after, from vintage to contemporary, and there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound. These horns literally 'have it all'.
More details:
Neck - The Custom G1 neck improves tonal projection and frees the upper register (a gold-plated G1 neck is optionally available).
Octave key - The octave key has a unique new ball joint design for smoother, quicker action.
Left-hand seesaw key - The left hand seesaw key has been redesigned to facilitate playability as well as feel more comfortable.
