The Yamaha YTS-875 EX tenor saxophone offers musicians a broad sound spectrum and a full sound, helping them to maximise their musical potential. This masterclass instrument was developed in collaboration with some of the world's most talented saxophonists, including Nobuya Sugawa, Jean-Yves Fourmeau, and Otis Murphy. It is an evolution of the popular Custom 875 model. This instrument offers an enhanced, more responsive performance while retaining the well-rounded, cultured sound for which the Custom 875 is renowned. Musicians choosing this saxophone will benefit from its phenomenal projection and beautifully centred core. At the same time, the sublime aesthetics of the instrument add value. Crafted from specially treated brass and artfully gold-lacquered, this instrument features a manually engraved lily design.
The manufacturer has meticulously implemented the suggestions of renowned saxophonists and also incorporated the findings of years of studies. The size and shape of the keys on the Yamaha YTS-875 EX tenor saxophone have been modified. A new E1 Custom S bow has increased the sound resonance, also enabling a faster response. The tenor saxophone produces an efficient and beautiful sound via the two-point bell brace. Likewise, Yamaha has optimised the tone holes: The intonation is better than ever, and the entire key system has been redesigned. Changes to the shape and mechanism of the front F key, the left palm key, and other details make for a smooth playing experience for the saxophonist. The Yamaha YTS-875 EX's ergonomic key design thus offers unparalleled comfort.
The Yamaha YTS-875 EX is aimed at experienced saxophonists and professional musicians looking for an exceptional instrument in terms of sound, playability, and functionality. This high-quality instrument stands out from the crowd for a variety of reasons; really, it represents something of a milestone in saxophone manufacturing. The bell is hammered from a single sheet of brass, just as an example. This gives the body the appearance of a single unit, while also softening the intonation, particularly in the middle and low registers. Resistance has also been optimised, resulting in a more colourful sound without compromising flexibility. Thus equipped and customised, this tenor saxophone is the ideal companion for every musical genre, from Jazz to Pop, Funk, Soul and many more. The tenor saxophone is a versatile instrument that grows with the player.
Yamaha has been one of the world’s most renowned manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology for many decades. The Japanese company's long history began with the harmonium at the end of the 19th century. Its portfolio has grown continuously ever since. Today, Yamaha is one of the few manufacturers that can provide almost the entire spectrum of musical instruments, including pianos, guitars, wind and string instruments, drums and percussion, and electronic keyboards and synthesisers. The company is also an established name in sound engineering, manufacturing mixing tables, amplifiers, PA systems and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is said to be the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.
The Yamaha YTS-875 EX has been one of the most popular tenor saxophones for some time now: Among musicians, it has earned an excellent reputation. This instrument has graced the most diverse stages around the world and has been immortalised on countless recordings. In order to stay at the top of its game and remain popular with musicians, Yamaha has treated this instrument (which is based on its own Custom 875) to an innovative and functional programme of rejuvenation and optimisation. The results of this revolution are instantly visible, immediately audible, and almost tangible. This process of revision was intended to achieve a synergy of ergonomic comfort, optimum intonation, and a beautiful, soft tone. Clearly, the manufacturer has succeeded here: The Yamaha YTS-875 EX is the musical proof of that – it's a true masterclass instrument.
