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.
Features
YBS-82 Neck
Newly designed custom C1 neck is included. It has a good response in producing sound, which enables the player to control the sound without losing the "core" of the sound.
YBS-82 Neck receiver
Custom neck receiver allows you to choose between 3 taper options (C, E, V) and six finish options to help you find your ideal sound.
Integrated key posts
This style of key posts adds a moderate resistance and makes the instrument sound as you blow into it.
Adjustable teardrop Front F key
The unique teardrop-shaped F key improves playability. It is adjustable to players' preferences.
Mother of pearl key button
Mother of pearl is used for the key buttons. It improves playability by making the instrument easier to hold with a soft but non-slippery surface.
Seesaw key
The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.
Two-point contact
Two-point contact is adopted for enhanced projection and a free-blowing response.
One-piece bell
Craftsmen shape the bell from a sheet of brass with a hammer. This adds a unity to the body and makes the intonation in middle to lower range smoother. It also has a solid tone.
YBS-82
The Custom YBS-82 features an ‘anemone’ engraving design which is hand engraved on every instrument. The Custom logo is the proof of craftsmanship.
Bell-ring
Bell rings support the instrument to vibrate well when players blow into it.
Separate style key guard
The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
Improved low B-C# connection
An improved mechanism from low B-C# connection ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument.
Newly designed peg and peg post
The peg and peg post are newly designed. The lightweight peg and peg post reduce the influence on the sound when the peg is fitted.
*Peg is included with the YBS-82 and optional for the YBS-480 and YBS-62.
Case (BSC-62III)
A new hard case with wheels helps move the instrument safely and easily.
