Yamaha YTS-62A - Tenor Saxophone

Product Information

Highly regarded for its ability across a wide variety of playing styles, the Yamaha 62 Tenor Sax is arguably the measuring stick we hold all other tenor saxophones against. The YTS-62A model features the gorgeous dark amber lacquer finish and the new 62 Neck with a slightly narrower bore than the previous model, ensuring intonation from top to bottom is very controllable and bang in tune. It also gives the 62 a more centred, solid sound with the warmth and resonance tenor players demand.

The strength of the 62 comes from the core brass chosen and the integrated key posts that run down the whole length of the body, joining the key pillars to the main tube. These added brass plates offer solidity to both build and tone, crucial for the sustained playing and projection tenors require. The 62 also benefits from the latest Yamaha advancement to the low B/C# connection, ensuring stability of the low notes.

Whether it be grades, classical, jazz, swing, funk, pop, soul or latin, this is the model that really can do it all with ease and it's got to be the most user-friendly tenor on the market. Built to last with extremely secure tuning, the YTS-62A features a professional neck receiver meaning players can add custom Yamaha necks at a later date for different tonal options. A great step-up for any tenor saxophone player.
