For sale is a Brand New Yamaha YAS-82ZII Custom Z Alto Saxophone. This is the latest "Generation II" model of the legendary Custom Z, featuring the coveted V1 Neck and Metal Resonators. It is widely considered the ultimate instrument for the modern jazz, pop, and commercial saxophonist, offering the freedom and projection of a vintage horn with the perfect intonation of a modern Yamaha.
This is the "forever horn" for the professional jazz musician, commercial artist, or serious college student. If you are looking for an instrument that offers zero resistance, lightning-fast response, and the ability to shape your sound from a whisper to a scream, the Custom Z is the industry standard.
The "Generation II" Advantage
The "II" in 82ZII represents a significant evolution in the Custom Z design.
-
Custom V1 Neck: The 82ZII comes standard with the V1 Neck, which features Yamaha's widest bore taper. This provides an incredibly free-blowing feel and the greatest possible flexibility, allowing the player to push the dynamic range without the horn "locking up."
-
Metal Resonators: Unlike the Custom EX (classical model), the Z features Metal Pad Resonators. These provide a faster response and a brighter, more "pingy" attack that cuts through a mix with ease.
-
One-Piece Bell: The body features a hand-hammered one-piece bell from the bow to the rim. This enhances low-end response and provides a wider palette of tonal colors compared to two-piece bells.
-
Improved Mechanics: Features an improved Low B-C# connection for consistent sealing and lighter thumb hook bases for better resonance.
