Yamaha Custom Alto Saxophone - YAS-875EXII

The Yamaha YAS-875EXII Custom EX alto saxophone marks a huge step forward for saxophone design. Offering players a wealth of musical possibilities, the second-generation Custom EX has been designed in collaboration with some of the world’s most talented saxophonists, including Nobuya Sugawa, Jean-Yves Fourmeau and Otis Murphy. Their invaluable input has guided Yamaha to craft an instrument that boasts outstanding intonation, a wide dynamic range, and complete expressive freedom.

• Custom V1 neck adds richness and fullness to the sound.
• The octave key has a unique ball joint design for smoother, quicker action. The neck receiver improves the tonal resonance.
• The 875 series features an innovative body shape unique to Yamaha, delivering moderate resistance and a rich, solid tone. The materials used are specifically optimized for custom models.
• The key layout is ergonomically designed to fit the natural shape of the hands, allowing players to focus on their performance without discomfort. The 875 series features a newly designed key layout for enhanced playability.
• Craftsmen shape the bell from a single sheet of brass using a hammer, creating a seamless connection with the body. This process smooths intonation in the middle to lower ranges and contributes to a rich, solid tone.
