Advanced touches
The Yamaha YAS875EX is made with the utmost care. Yamaha are
always known for their impeccable intonation and the V1 neck adds
to this. Custom necks are top-of-the-range, so enhance your tonal
depth and respond to your every nuance. You'll know how crucial a
good mouthpiece is too for your saxophone's performance, and here
you have a refined one in the Ebonite 4CM model. All these features
add to the feel of your instrument, which you see too in the
improved size and shape of the keys. The bow design lets you
produce a clear sound even in the low register, being made for a
free-blowing resistance.
Yamaha's renowned mechanisms
Yamaha's mechanisms are second to none. Features like the
two-point bell/body brace are incredibly made with two-point
contact, which allows you an even stronger projection. You have
great control over this sax with features like the adjustable front
F key and thumb-rest. This flexibility lets you make sure your
instrument works for you so you can hold it just how you like. The
YAS875EX has been designed with your playing in mind, which you see
further in features like the tilting style low Bb key and octave
key with a unique new ball joint design.
Hand-crafted beauty
Yamaha's finest instruments are carefully crafted in Japan by
experienced artisans. Thanks to this, the Custom 875 has the most
polished and fine appearance. A one piece bell is a thing of
beauty, which also allows for a warm, deep tone. This bell has been
hand-hammered for optimum precision and finished with a stunning
floral engraving. This hand-engraved touch is painstaking work and
shows how precious this instrument is. Another luxurious addition
are the mother of pearl key buttons, for a gorgeous shine.
