Yamaha YTS-62 MK III Professional Tenor Saxophone - Gold Lacquer
Yamaha’s Legendary “62” Tenor Sax
In professional circles, the Yamaha “62” is a legend. Considered the original “do-everything” professional tenor saxophone, the YTS-62 was designed in collaboration with a noted classical saxophonist in an exhaustive multi-year development program that incorporated input from top jazz saxophonists to ensure the cross-genre proficiency of the new instrument. As a result, you’ll find pro players representing all styles of music who rely on the YTS-62 as their main tenor. Today, the third-generation YTS-62III owes its best-seller status and popularity among worldwide legions of loyal devotees to Yamaha’s visionary designers and highly skilled artisans who perform their work with exemplary enthusiasm, passion, and precision. The YTS-62 comes with Yamaha’s widely respected TS4C mouthpiece and a durable, attractive case. If you’re ready to step up to a truly professional tenor sax that’s also an incredible value, you simply can’t go wrong with the Yamaha YTS-62III.
A perfect blend of features, playability, and value
Unpretentious yet formidable, the Yamaha YTS-62III tenor saxophone is a near-perfect blend of features, playability, and value. It has all all the hallmarks of a professional sax, including a high F# key, an adjustable thumb hook, hard steel needle springs, and smooth, consistent action. This is a horn that will go the distance in your career and allow you to grow as an artist. This starts with its neck — it comes with Yamaha’s excellent new 62-style neck, which sports a slightly narrower bore taper that gives you faster response and greater control, focusing your notes and providing a more compact landing zone for intonation. A majority of players will find the 62-style neck facilitates a comfortable airflow — essential for a strong tonal core. However, should you wish to expand your sound, the 62’s upgraded professional neck tenon receiver allows you to add a custom neck such as Yamaha’s acclaimed V1.
