The legendary Yamaha YAS-62III professional alto saxophone has evolved to suit the needs of almost any saxophonist - from the seasoned pro on down.
The Yamaha YAS62III alto, a favorite among professional saxophonists and band directors for decades, has redefined the saxophone market by offering superior quality and durability at a competitive price.
Introduced in 1979, the YAS-62 and YTS-62 Yamaha saxophones have withstood the test of time and competition and have been in a continual state of improvement since the launch of the YAS-61 in 1969.
The new 62-style neck allows a comfortable airflow so that every player can attain a solid tonal core. A slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control.
Other essential features of the Yamaha YAS-62iii include a new design that offers delicate beauty with more elaborate and finer detail engraving; an improved mechanism from low B to C# ensures a proper seal for these notes which promotes a clear response throughout the low range of the instrument.
The Yamaha YAS62III Eb alto saxophone has a semi-hard, backpack-style case that offers a contemporary look and greater ease of transport.
We think the Yamaha YAS-62III Professional Alto Saxophone is one of the best alto saxophones for sale today. Contact Andy's Music and order yours.
