Yamaha Soprano Saxophone - YSS82Z

Description

The YSS82Z greets professional saxophone players with open arms, offering immense musical range and flexibility. This soprano sax expands on the design and scale of the 62 series before it by delivering incredible dynamic range and tonal diversity thanks to it's brass alloyed body and single-piece neck. These unique body features also reduce the weight of the instrument, allowing for superior comfort and responsiveness for the aspiring musician.

the YSS82Z is designed to play evenly in all ranges, allowing for as much -- or as little -- sound variation as the player desires. Durability, responsiveness, and resonance all mix together to provide a personalized playing experience so unique to you, that the only possible limit is your own imagination!
