A revelation for the modern day saxophone player
Based on the scale of the classic '62' models, the new Custom Z saxophones 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 Custom Z plays evenly in all ranges and gives you a huge dynamic range for as much – or as little – sound as you want.
Distinctive designs offer players beautiful tonal colors. The new Custom Z soprano models are reminiscent of vintage Yamaha soprano saxophone designs.
YSS-82Z is available with a straight neck, while YSS-82ZR has a curved neck.
