Yamaha YAS-82Z-WOF MK3 Custom Alto Sax (Gold Lacquer)
The YAS82Z-WOF (without the High F# key) Many of today's players prefer not to have this key as they feel it affects the intonation and tonal resonance of the instrument.
The evolution of the Yamaha Custom Z continues. With powerful sound and the ability to play fast passages without difficulty, the Z is crafted to meet your highest expectations. It has been re-examined from the neck to the bell and is now equipped with a one-piece bell for increased resonance and the highly regarded V1 neck for the optimal combination of response and control.
