Pre-Owned Yamaha Custom Z YAS-82Z Professional Alto Saxophone - Mint Condition
For sale is a breathtaking, Pre-Owned Yamaha Custom Z YAS-82Z Alto Saxophone, serial number E84468. This instrument is in absolutely near-perfect, mint condition. Adult-owned and meticulously cared for, it looks and plays like it just came out of the factory wrapper. The Yamaha Custom Z series was developed in collaboration with legendary artists like Phil Woods to create the ultimate modern jazz and commercial saxophone. It offers a massive dynamic range, lightning-fast response, and a brilliantly colorful core that allows you to express your individual voice without fighting the horn.
This is the ultimate choice for the jazz soloist, commercial player, or advancing professional who demands flexibility and agility. If you find standard classical-focused saxophones to be too heavy, resistant, or "stuffy," the Custom Z will be a total revelation. It is specifically designed to be lighter, more resonant, and incredibly free-blowing. It takes all the air you can give it, making it perfect for lead alto players in a big band, R&B horn sections, or intimate jazz combos.
The "Custom Z" Advantage
- Lightweight Resonance: The 82Z series is built with a special brass alloy and lighter keywork chassis. This allows the entire instrument to vibrate freely in your hands, giving you an immediate, explosive response and a massive sound.
- One-Piece Bell: Featuring a hand-hammered one-piece bell, this saxophone delivers an incredibly resonant, fat low register and highly consistent tone across the entire range.
- Yamaha Ergonomics: Yamaha is universally praised for having the best, most natural keywork in the industry. The action on the Custom Z is famously crisp, fast, and ergonomic, allowing for effortless technical facility.
- Legendary Intonation: You get the wildly expressive, colorful sound of a vintage American horn, but with the surgical intonation and mechanical reliability that Yamaha is famous for.
