Adjustable thumb rest
All Yamaha saxophones feature an adjustable thumb rest to allow for precise and comfortable hand and fingering postion.
Refined key shape and dimension
Yamaha saxophone keys are not simply shaped and positioned according to mechanical necessity. The entire system is designed from the player's perspective, with emphasis on comfort, speed, and overall playability. The natural feel of the keys eliminated the need to adapt to an unnatural or uncomfortable key layout.
Available features
Available in black lacquer (YSS-875B) or silver-plated (YSS-875S) finishes.
