For sale is a Brand New Yamaha YAS-62III Professional Alto Saxophone, finished in the stunning Amber Lacquer (Model YAS-62A). This instrument combines the legendary reliability and intonation of the "62" with a rich, vintage-inspired aesthetic. It is the perfect choice for the player who wants the soul and look of a classic jazz horn without the maintenance headaches of a vintage instrument.
This is for the saxophonist who wants to stand out. While the standard gold 62 is the "academic" standard, the Amber 62 is the "artist" choice. It is ideal for jazz players, soloists, and adult enthusiasts who appreciate a darker, more sophisticated look and a slightly warmer tonal presence.
The "Amber" Difference
While it shares the mechanical DNA of the standard YAS-62III, the Amber model features distinct upgrades:
- Amber Lacquer Finish: The beautiful dark amber finish gives the horn a "vintage" appearance straight out of the case. Many players find this finish provides a slightly warmer, darker response compared to the brighter gold lacquer.
- High-Contrast Engraving: Unique to the Amber model, the hand-engraving on the bell is performed after the lacquer is applied. This creates a striking contrast between the dark amber body and the bright raw brass of the engraving, making the floral design "pop" in a way standard models do not.
Generation III Features
The YAS-62III represents the latest evolution of Yamaha's most famous pro horn.
- New 62 Style Neck: Features a slightly narrower bore taper for faster response and greater control, allowing for a focused core sound.
- Integrated Key Posts: Ribbed construction adds moderate resistance, giving the instrument a solid core that doesn't break up at loud dynamics.
- Improved Low B-C# Connection: Redesigned mechanism ensures a consistent seal on the low C#, fixing the most common leak found on older saxophones.
- Professional Compatibility: The neck receiver is compatible with Yamaha Custom Z and Custom EX necks, allowing for future acoustic upgrades.
