Pre-Owned Yamaha YTS-875EX Custom EX Professional Tenor Saxophone - Gold Lacquer
For sale is a true modern masterpiece: a Pre-Owned Yamaha YTS-875EX Custom EX Professional Tenor Saxophone. The Custom EX series represents the absolute pinnacle of Yamaha's saxophone manufacturing, developed through decades of painstaking research and collaboration with some of the world’s greatest saxophonists. Known for its incredibly smooth, refined, and deeply colorful tone, the YTS-875EX offers unmatched mechanical precision and playability. This specific instrument is in phenomenally fresh condition, offering top-tier professional performance without the brand-new price tag!
This is the ultimate tenor for the serious collegiate major, gigging professional, or advancing conservatory student. If you demand an instrument that offers a massive dynamic range, lightning-fast key action, and world-class intonation right out of the box, the Custom EX is the industry standard for a reason. Its highly versatile, authoritative core sound is equally at home in a classical quartet, a jazz combo, or a roaring big band.
The "Custom EX" Advantage
- One-Piece Hand-Engraved Bell: Unlike lower models, the Custom EX features a one-piece, hand-hammered bell. This significantly enhances the instrument's resonance and projection, and it features a stunning, hand-engraved "lily" design for a premium aesthetic.
- Legendary Yamaha Ergonomics: Yamaha redesigned the size and shape of the key buttons (featuring genuine mother-of-pearl) and the left-hand seesaw key to prioritize comfort, speed, and a remarkably fluid, tension-free playing experience.
- Flawless Intonation: Yamaha is famous for its pitch accuracy, and the 875EX takes it to another level. With optimized tone hole sizes and a two-point bell brace for a free-blowing response, it slots perfectly across all registers.
Condition Report & Shop Prep

- Mechanics: This saxophone plays beautifully. The keywork is tight, quiet, and lightning-fast. Our expert in-house technicians have fully inspected and adjusted this instrument to ensure the pads are sealing perfectly from top to bottom.
