Introducing the Yamaha YAS875EX Custom series professional alto saxophone outfit
Marking a huge step forward for saxophone design, the YAS-875EX alto saxophone offers a wealth of opportunities for any player. It has been made in collaboration with some of the worlds most talented saxophonists, including Nobuya Sugawa, Jean-Yves Fourmeau and Otis Murphy. An evolved flagship model with stress-free key work and low-register playability, the Custom EX gives the performer full expressive freedom.
Elegant design and unrivalled sound quality
The YAS875EX features the ‘lily’ engraving design which is hand graved onto every instrument, as well as three different finish options; gold lacquer, silver plated and black lacquer, each providing a professional, high-quality look.
Yamaha saxophones are renowned for their fantastic sound quality and the new Custom EX is no different. Yamaha have optimised the tonehole sizes and positions which has meant that the intonation on the new instrument is better than ever.
The Custom EX saxophone is complemented by Yamaha’s redesigned Custom ebonite mouthpiece. The baffle, chamber, and other areas of internal design have been re-designed for greater projection as well as soft, beautiful tonality. The shape of the tip has been modified for increased comfort and easier embouchure control.
Excellent playability
The redesigned keywork includes changes to the front F key shape and mechanism, a position change of the left-hand palm keys, left-hand table keys, right hand side keys and right hand pinky keys. This ergonomic layout provides unrivalled comfort and makes hand adjustment easy and stress free.
During the design process, Yamaha experimented with new methods for producing the bottom bow of the instrument. The diameter of the low C and D tone holes have been reduced and Yamaha’s unique acoustic annealing process has been applied to enhance low note playability. Resistance is consistent throughout the instrument’s range.
