Yamaha YAS-875EXII Alto Saxophone 

 The all new Yamaha YAS-875EXII has been redesigned with today’s top professionals to provide a horn that offers the most expressive sound and stress-free playing experience. Yamaha horns in general are known for their ease in playability and exceptional intonation in all models; their professional models have action that supersede other competitors in today’s market.  The YAS-875EXII has a new design in their key layout, which gives the player an unrivaled comfort and provides stress-free and nimble action for fast, hard to play passages.

 During the re-design process, Yamaha took into consideration the low end of these horns. So with experimentation, they decided to reduce the diameter of the low C and D tone holes, which resulted in ease in playing the low end, without flux in sound, and without changing the resistance throughout the horn. Also re-designed is the Customer EX mouthpiece, which is included with this horn. The re-designed mouthpiece offers greater projection as well as soft, beautiful tonality. The shape of the tip has been modified for increased comfort and easier tonal control. 

With all that said, you’re looking at the top competitor in the market for professional saxophones. You have to get your hands on one of these horns to experience the Yamaha difference
