Yamaha Custom EX sopranos are an improved version of the classic YSS-875, already considered by many to be the finest soprano saxes ever made. The new design with its G2 neck offers even broader expressive capabilities with wide dynamics, precise intonation, and a gorgeous sound with rich harmonics. The YSS-875EX comes with two necks - one straight and one curving - to suit different playing preferences.
