Introducing the Yamaha YAS875EX custom series alto saxophone
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.
Available in three different finishes, the YAS-875EX is also supplied with a mouthpiece and quality case.
Brand new key layout
The new Custom EX alto saxophone has had a complete overhaul of the key layout. 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 offers a smoother playing experience giving players more confidence when performing. With the new, more ergonomic key layout design, the new Custom EX gives players unrivalled comfort and makes hand adjustment easy and almost stress free.
Easy to play in the lower register
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 has 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.
Outstanding intonation
Yamaha saxophones are renowned for their fantastic intonation 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.
Elegant engraving design
The Custom EX saxophone features a new ‘lily’ engraving design which is hand engraved on every instrument.
Redesigned ebonite mouthpiece
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.
What's in the box?
The outfit is complete with mouthpiece and quality semi-hard case, made from a stylish durable material.
