Yamaha YAS62 Alto Saxophone

Description:

The new Yamaha YAS62 is an improved version of Yamaha's classic 62 Series Sax, the instrument that revolutionised the world of the saxophone, becoming the first serious challenge to the famous instruments of the past. 

The 62 has always been the sax of choice for many of the world's top pros. Offering surprising value for money, and amazing flexibility (it can be used for virtually any musical genre) it is characterised by a highly expressive tone, comfortable playability and extremely accurate intonation.

YAS-62 Neck

A slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control. The new 62 style neck allows a comfortable flow of air so that every player can attain a solid tonal core.

Integrated Key Posts

Integrating the multiple key posts onto a single plate makes the horn blow with moderate resistance while delivering a solid core with deep tone colour.

Octave key with a regular joint to realise smoothness

A simple but functionable octave joint to realise smoothness.

62 shape

Neck Receiver

Adjustable tear drop front F key

The unique tear-drop shaped F key improves playability. It is adjustable to players preferences.
