We bought one of these for my son, who is moving into more advanced material in high school. We sat down with a variety of Yamaha tenor saxophones - 62II, 875EX, black lacquered, no lacquer, etc. This was the horn (standard lacquer model) that really sang. Even listening to his practice sessions I'm struck with how vibrant the sound is. Sometimes you wish instrument manufacturers would put as much quality into their intermediate products as they do for the professional models. Yamaha is no different. Don't let a band music store tell you the only difference between the intermediate and professional models is a lot of fancy engraving. An artisan fine-tuned this horn to bring out every bit of the sound it is capable of. In the long run, you won't be disappointed.
A couple of years ago I made a huge mistake: I had not played onstage for a few years so I figured I'd sell my Mark VI that I bought new in 1974. Well, needless to say, I regretted it because just a few weeks later, some old band mates wanted me to start playing again. I've spent the last couple of years trying to get my old sound back with a variety of horns from a Super 20 to a mid '60's Mark VI. Both nice horns, to be sure. But now I think my sojourn is over: I just took delivery of a Yamaha YTS 82Z silver tenor. OMIGOD! This thing rocks! It has the great Yamaha keywork and the late model Mark VI sound that I just adore. And the silverplate finish is the bomb. Right out of the box it blew from low Bb to altissimo flawlwessly. I'm very impressed. I think this is THE ONE. BTW: I played-tested a Selmer Reference 36 side-by-side with the Yamaha 82Z and the hands-down winner was the Yamaha on every count, from ergonomics to finish to construction to sound. It's all good.
This is a jazz horn. This is what legends are made of. I mean phil woods plays on one. The 82z is the one and only tenor for me. I currently play on a NY metal Otto 6* with fibracell 3 reeds. I don't pretend like I'm some kind of amazing phenom who plays amazingly well. 1/2 of my sound comes from this horn. The caliber of sound coming from this horn is real. I went from okay to "thats not me playing right now". This horn makes a world of difference. This horn might even become a legend to our children. Take note that you have a chance to purchase history.
Amazing tenor, better then most Selmers. Tone quality is fantastic while not compromising for poor key layout as both are spectacular.
