Characteristics:

• The new Yamaha YAS-875EX Custom EX Alto Saxophone represents a major leap forward in saxophone design. Offering players a wealth of new musical possibilities, the new Custom EX was designed in collaboration with some of the world's most talented saxophonists, including Nobuya Sugawa, Jean-Yves Fourmeau, and Otis Murphy.
• The new version of the classic 875 model from the custom series, the EX saxophone, is the result of years of meticulous research and trials with the best saxophonists in the world. The EX model delivers enhanced sound full of colors that can be shaped according to your needs. It is equipped with an incredibly solid, fast, and agile mechanism, offering a wide dynamic range and a powerful sound with a strong center.
• Its depth and softness are completely captivating, and the remarkable tonal flexibility makes the instrument perfect for all genres of music.
• The shape and size of the keys have been improved to enhance the naturalness of the playing experience.
• The new custom neck enriches the instrument's sound and allows for quick and easy tone production. The bell with a special rim makes it effortless to achieve a powerful sound.
• The new Custom EX Alto Saxophone has been completely overhauled in terms of key layout. Changes to the shape and mechanism of the front F key, as well as the positioning of the left-hand palm keys, left-hand table keys, right-hand side keys, and right-hand pinky keys, ensure smoother playability and give players greater confidence when performing.
• During the design process, Yamaha experimented with new methods of crafting the lower part of the instrument. The diameter of the low C and D toneholes has been reduced, and Yamaha’s unique acoustic annealing process has been applied to enhance low-note playability, making resistance consistent throughout the instrument’s range.
• Yamaha saxophones are renowned for their fantastic intonation, and the new Custom EX is no different. Yamaha has optimized the tonehole sizes and positions, resulting in better intonation than ever before!
• The new Custom EX saxophone features a new ‘lily’ engraving design that is hand-engraved on every instrument.
• The new Custom EX is complemented by Yamaha’s re-designed Custom ebonite mouthpiece. The baffle, chamber, and other areas of internal design have been re-engineered for greater projection and a softer, beautiful tone. The shape of the tip has been modified to increase comfort and ease of embouchure control.
• The semi-hard rucksack-style case supplied with the new Custom EX is made from a stylish, durable material.
