Brand New Yamaha YAS-82Z Custom Z Professional Alto Saxophone - Lacquer
We have a brand new Yamaha YAS-82Z Custom Z alto in the shop. If you are looking for a reliable, top-tier professional alto with unparalleled responsiveness and a voice that can cut through a big band or soar in a jazz combo, this is the horn for you. Highly favored by jazz, commercial, and contemporary players, it provides a vibrant, highly flexible tone and does exactly what you ask of it without any fuss.
This specific alto is fresh from the factory and gives you that legendary Yamaha consistency right out of the box.
Key Features
-
The Custom V1 Neck: This model comes standard with the Custom V1 neck. It has a slightly wider taper, which gives the horn a really nice, free-blowing feel and immense dynamic range, allowing you to push the horn to its limits.
-
One-Piece Bell: The Custom Z features a traditional one-piece bell. This manufacturing technique significantly improves low-end resonance and gives the entire horn an incredibly vibrant, continuous ring.
-
Metal Resonators: The pads on the 82Z are equipped with metal dome resonators. This delivers outstanding projection, a crisper response, and the punchy tonal characteristics that jazz and commercial players demand.
-
Nimble Ergonomics: Yamaha always nails their keywork. Built with a slightly lighter overall weight and exceptional balance, the Z sits very naturally under the fingers, making lightning-fast passages and long gigs a lot easier.
Condition & Shop Inspection
-
Cosmetics: Brand New. This is a brand new instrument. The gold lacquer and the intricate hand-engraved bell are absolutely flawless.
