Yamaha Design “Synapses” YAS-62/82Z, YTS-62/82Z

2012 / SAXOPHONES


The Standard in Saxophones, Evolved.

Pride

In transforming the player’s breath into sound, a wind instrument is truly an extension of the body. When a musician picks one up to play, it fits itself to his fingers; when he blows into it, it resonates, deepening the connection between player and instrument.

Professional

Timbre, feel, key action, and engraving are all to professional standards and enable the player to hit every note with the desired feeling. Whatever the situation, these saxophones can be counted on when on-stage.

Well-Made

The body is hammered into the pleasing lines of a morning glory, and then a master engraver pours his heart into every instrument. The artist, engraver, and developer work together as one to create a work of art.

Elegance

The floral engraving has a universal appeal free of any bonds to time or place. The design is both sophisticated and informal, combining a subtle modernity with traditional technique.
