Yamaha YTS 875 EX

Bb tenor saxophone from Custom EX series that represents an improved version of that proven classic the Yamaha Custom 875 – and it is the result of decades of painstaking research and trials involving some of the world's greatest saxophonists. It features a smooth response and a deep, refined sound full of rich colours, and a solid feel with quick and nimble action, a wide dynamic range, stunning projection, and an authoritative tone with a beautifully defined total core. The size and shape of the mother-of-pearl key buttons have been changed for a better 'feel', while the new, handmade Custom V1 neck enhances tonal resonance and give a quicker, more comfortable response. The octave key has a unique ball joint design for smooth, quick key action. The Custom neck receiver provides a rich, resonant sound. The left hand seesaw key has been redesigned to facilitate playability as well as feel more comfortable. An adjustable Front F mechanism gives the player the freedom to find the optimal level of resistance in the altissimo range. The bell/body brace features two-point contact for enhanced projection and a free-blowing response. Other features include drawn tone holes, Yamaha 4CM mouthpiece with yellow brass cap and ligature, waterproof leather and wool felt pads with plastic tone boosters, blue steel needle spring type and ribbed and flanged mounting. The saxophone comes in deluxe ultra-lightweight case which provides excellent protection. A convenient carrying strap is also included. Gold Baked Epoxy Lacquer finish.
