The Yamaha YSS-82Z is a revelation for the modern day saxophone player. Its distinctive design offers players beautiful tonal colors. The new YSS-82Z is a "Custom Z" soprano model and is reminiscent of vintage Yamaha soprano saxophone designs with a one-piece neck and body.

Based on the scale and design of the classic '62' models, Custom Z saxophones have bodies that are made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing 'feel' and excellent tonal flexibility. The YSS-82Z plays evenly in all ranges and gives the player a huge dynamic range without sacrificing sound quality. The Custom Z saxes have unparalleled tonal flexibility for confident performance in all styles of music, and there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound.
