Yamaha YTS82Z MK3 Custom Tenor Saxophone (Lacquer Finish)
The latest version of Yamaha's ultra successful Custom Z tenor sax, near identical to the 82ZII but now sporting high quality Pisoni Pro pads.
The evolution of the Yamaha Custom Z continues.
Powerful sound and the ability to play fast passages without difficulty, the Z is crafted to meet your highest expectations.
They have been re-examined from the neck to the bell and are now equipped with a one-piece bell for increased resonance and the highly regarded V1 neck for the optimal combination of response and control.
Features
One-piece bell with new engraving
In the tradition of those coveted vintage saxophones, the 82Z now comes equipped with a one-piece bell. This feature drastically improves low end response and offers the player a wider palette of tonal color. More elaborate with finer detail, the new engraving design offers delicate beauty.
Metal resonator pad
The metal resonators offer an outstanding response and deliver a wider dynamic range. The entire range of the instrument has a clearer pronunciation, providing effortless playability all around.
V1 neck
The wide bore taper of the V1 neck provides a free-blowing feel and the greatest possible flexibility.
Improved Low B-C# connection
An improved mechanism from low B-C# connection ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument.
