BUENA PARK, Calif. Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, is pleased to introduce the YAS-82ZWOF alto saxophone without the high F key and the new YSS-875EXHG soprano saxophone with the high G key. The Yamaha Custom Z and EX saxophone lines have enjoyed a long, successful history with players of all styles, the new models provide even more options for professional artists, high-end players and college students, as well as faculty and educators.
By removing the high F#, the new YAS-82ZWOF Custom Z alto saxophone will allow the instrument to have higher resonance and purity of sound. Multiple finishes are available including lacquered, unlacquered and silver or black lacquer.
