A FEW DETAILS :

YAMAHA CUSTOM YAS82Z IS THE LATEST MODEL FROM YAMAHA, TESTED AND APPROVED BY YAMAHA ARTIST PHIL WOODS.

SINCE THIS MODEL WAS LAUNCHED, MANY TOP JAZZ PLAYERS LIKE JEFF COFFIN, BOB FRANCESHINI AND FRANCOIS D’AMOURS HAVE ADOPTED IT.

YAMAHA YAS82Z UNLACQUERED MODEL IS REPUTED TO BE THE VERY BEST SAX EVER MADE BY THIS GIANT PLAYER OF THE INDUSTRY.

THE BODY & BELL ARE MADE OF A SPECIAL BRASS ALLOW, PRODUCING A LIGHTER SAX THAT GIVES A SENSITIVE RESPONSE.

**DECIDING NOT TO GOLD LACQUER IT

WAS SIMPLY  A LOGICAL DECISION; MANY JAZZ PLAYERS ASKED THEIR FAVORITE TECHNICIAN TO REMOVE THE LACQUER ON THEIR SAX , SINCE DECADES. AN UNLACQUERED SAX GIVES A RICHER RESONANCE AND A WARMER TONE THEN LACQUERED SAXES.

WHEN YOU BUY A NEW YAMAHA UNLACQUERED SAX, IT IS SHINNY AT THE BEGINNING. AS THE TIME PASTS, YOUR SAX WILL TAKE A RICH AND DARK PATINA.

THE CRYOGENIC TREATMENT IS ANOTHER RARE SPECIFICATION OF THIS ALTO. CRAFTSMEN KNOW THAT THE NORMAL PRODUCTION MANIPULATIONS MADE ON THE BRASS CREATE STRESS IN THE BRASS. THIS CAN RESULT INTO A LACK OF RESONANCE OR EVENESS. CRYOGENICALLY TREATED INSTRUMENTS ARE COOLED DOWN TO -300 * F, THEN THE HEAT IS GRADUALLY WARMED.IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE TO SALE THE MOST STABLE SAXES EVER, YAMAHA DECIDED TO APPLY THIS SPECIAL TREATMENT.

ONLY 20 OF THEIR SAXES WERE TREATED THIS SPECIAL WAY, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM !

THIS YAMAHA MODEL IS REPUTED FOR ITS QUALITY OF SOUND,  ITS FULL RESONANCE, ITS AMAZING INTONATION AND ITS VERSATILITY. EVERYONE AGREES; THE YAMAHA YAS82Z UNLACQUERED ALTO SAX BRINGS THE “FEEL” OF THE OLD TREASURED SAXES, ADDING THE NEW INTONATION& ERGONOMY OPTIONS.
