The Custom Z: A Modern Sax with a Vintage Soul
Yamaha’s Custom Z series was born from a desire to combine the reliability and precision of modern manufacturing with the rich, expressive sound of a vintage horn. While many sopranos are designed for a specific niche, the Custom Z offers a powerful and flexible voice that has made it a favorite among today's most respected jazz and contemporary players.
What makes the YSS-82ZB a professional's dream:
- Unibody Design for a Focused Sound: This Custom Z features a fixed-neck, unibody design. This construction provides a powerful, focused sound with a quick response across all registers. It also ensures consistent intonation and a secure feel, giving the player full confidence in their sound from top to bottom.
- Distinctive Black Lacquer Finish: The "B" in the model name signifies its beautiful black lacquer finish. This finish not only gives the saxophone a unique and eye-catching aesthetic but also contributes to a slightly more centered and solid tonal core.
- Classic Feel with No High G: The absence of a high G key is a deliberate design choice that many players prefer. It simplifies the keywork and contributes to a more open and free-blowing feel in the upper register, allowing a player to achieve a purer, more focused sound.
- Expressive Versatility: The YSS-82Z is known for its ability to produce a powerful, gritty tone when pushed, yet it can also play with a sweet, clear voice. It is a workhorse that can handle any style, from hard-hitting funk to lyrical ballads.
This is a saxophone for the player who wants to stand out from the crowd and have an instrument that can keep up with any musical idea they have. It's a professional tool in pristine condition, ready for the stage or the studio.
