Yamaha YAS-82Z Alto Saxophone - Gold Lacquer Professional | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Yamaha YAS-82Z Alto Saxophone represents the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, designed in collaboration with some of the greatest players in the world and hand-built by Yamaha's most expert craftsmen using the finest materials and innovative features. This exceptional Custom series saxophone delivers remarkably expressive sound with a solid core that comes from its hand-hammered bell construction, providing rich sounds and expressive feel that elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists. Perfect for professional jazz players and serious musicians who demand instruments with wider dynamic range, superior projection, and the meticulous build quality that defines Yamaha's flagship Custom saxophone line.
Product Overview
Meticulously developed from premium brass construction with beautiful gold lacquer finish, the YAS-82Z features innovative engineering that sets it apart from traditional saxophone designs. The hand-hammered bell creates the remarkably expressive sound and solid tonal core that professional musicians depend on for sophisticated musical expression, while the special lighter-weight brass alloy provides enhanced responsiveness and projection characteristics.
The revolutionary Yamaha VI neck helps create a more expressive saxophone through its more open feel and significantly wider dynamic range, allowing players to achieve subtle musical nuances and powerful projection that traditional neck designs cannot match. This advanced neck design, combined with the improved low B to low C# connection, ensures that the low C# closes securely and gives players real confidence when performing demanding repertoire in the lower register.
Hand-built by the cream of Yamaha's expert craftsmen in Japan, every YAS-82Z undergoes meticulous quality control and precision assembly that ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability. The white mother-of-pearl key touches and hand-engraved decoration reflect the premium aesthetic standards that complement this instrument's exceptional musical capabilities.
