Description

Yamaha Custom series saxophones are designed with some of the greatest players in the world and hand built by the cream of Yamaha's expert craftsman. Meticulously developed from the finest materials and built with innovative features, Yamaha Custom saxophones provide rich sounds and an expressive feel to elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists.

The YSS-875EXGP has been developed over several decades of painstaking research and trials involving some of the world's greatest saxophonists. Featuring a smooth response and a refined sound full of rich colors. It has a reassuringly solid feel yet a quick and nimble playing action, a wide dynamic range, stunning projection, and an authoritative tone with a beautifully designed tonal core.

The YSS-875EXHGGP features two necks in straight and curving styles to suit players' preferences.

The brass body is left unlacquered and plated with beautiful bright gold plating. The lack of lacquer does mean occasional cleaning is required in order to maintain the finish. However, the added layer of resonant precious metal gives more projection and a wonderful extra dimension to the sound.

Review

These Custom saxes ooze quality - design, build, ergonomics, tuning, playability - just pick it up to know you have your hands on one of the World's great soprano saxes. Intonation-wise very few sopranos can compete, which is a crucial differential given the notoriously uneven tuning of many soprano horns out there. These gold plated models are simply incredible if you have the budget, . Phill (Sax.co.uk)

Please note: Yamaha does not allow us to sell you this saxophone if you live outside of the EU. We highly recommend browsing the exceptional range of Yanagisawa saxophones which are available for all international customers.
