Yamaha YAS-62 Purple Logo - Alto Saxophone (035966)
Product Information
The Yamaha YAS-62 has been the benchmark professional alto for players who want reliability and evenness, and the early 'purple logo' examples are the ones collectors and players seek out. The purple bell engraving marks the first generation of the 62, made in Japan, and these horns have a following of their own.
They are known for a focused, centred tone with excellent intonation and a key action that remains one of the most comfortable Yamaha have produced. For years the 62 fought it out with the Yanagisawa 901 for top position in the upgrade alto market. It is at home in jazz, classical, function and section work alike, and it is a horn a player can grow into rather than out of.
This particular example is in good condition. It has been given a fresh set of pads and the lacquer looks great overall. The purple ‘Yamaha’ logo is wholly in tact. Like all our pre-owned instruments it has been fully checked and set up in our workshop prior to sale by one of our experienced technicians, so you can buy with total confidence.
It is supplied with the original Yamaha hard box case and Selmer Paris S80 C* mouthpiece. The included custom G1 neck is in like new condition. This sax does not come with the original purple logo neck. At this price it represents a considerable saving on the new equivalent, and it is ready to play from the moment it arrives.
