Finish: Gold lacquer

The first baritone saxophone in the Yamaha custom lineup introduces new standards of baritone sax design backed by years of research and development. The YBS-82 responds to the needs of players who are serious about tone, adding mid and high range brilliance to the instrument’s fat baritone low end.

Much more than just a low-part instrument, the YBS-82 has the versatility to take on solo roles as well.
