Features
YSS-82ZR Neck
The YSS-82ZR has a curved neck integrated into the body, which adds softness to the sound with a comfortable playing feel.
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.
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.
YSS-82Z
The Custom Z saxophone features an ‘anemone’ engraving design which is hand engraved on every instrument. The Custom Z logo is the proof of craftsmanship.
Case (SSC-820)
The 82Z saxophones come in slim, lightweight cases which provide excellent protection. A convenient shoulder strap is also included.
