Features
Unique bell engraving method (Only for YAS-62A)
The hand engraving is done by craftsmen after lacquering to enhance the contrast with the brass. The beautiful engraving design further enhances the luxurious feel of the YAS-62A. A special technology topcoat enables the product to maintain its beautiful condition for a long period of time.
YAS-62 Neck
A slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control. The new 62 style neck allows a comfortable flow of air so that every player can attain a solid tonal core.
YAS-62 Neck receiver
The professional style neck receiver increases togetherness of neck and body offering richer tones. It has the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).
