Combining quick response with a warm tone color.
Recognizing the versatile needs of saxophonists today, Yamaha developed a saxophone capable of performing
both classical and jazz. The result is the YTS-82Z Custom Z Tenor Saxophone. Jazz sax players will be knocked out by the projection,
sweet tone and availability of an unlacquered model. Classical saxophonists will be enamored by the control over their tone
from pianissimo to fortissimo.
Yamaha s YTS-82Z offers many improvements to Yamaha saxophones of the past, while maintaining a consistent build quality
and free-blowing nature. The body of the Custom Z is made from a special brass alloy offering a lighter weight and a tonal
flexibility only dreamt of until now. The Custom G1 neck helps produce a quick and agile response, while key action and placement
just feel right. The YTS-82Z captures the sound of popular vintage saxophones of the past, but adds the comfort of modern
mechanisms and playability.
Body design
The 82Z features a two-piece hydro-formed bell. The body, bell, and bow are annealed during production to make this horn
more responsive and less resistant.
Mechanisms
The new mechanisms on the 82Z allow for faster action and easier repair.
Blue steel springs
The 82Z comes with blue steel springs for faster, more sensitive key response and higher resiliency.
New case
The new 82Z comes equipped with a newly designed lightweight case that has a shoulder strap.
Engraving
Eye catching engraving will give you the look of a custom horn.
