Yamaha YAS-62III Alto Saxophone

A favorite among band directors for decades, the 62 model saxophones (and their predecessor, the 61) have redefined the market by offering superior quality and durability at an affordable price.. Introduced in 1979, the YAS-62 and YTS-62 saxophones withstand the tests of time and competition and have been in a continual state of improvement since the launch of the YAS-61 in 1969.

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.

Integrating the multiple key posts into a single plate makes the horn blow with moderate resistance while delivering a solid core with deep tone color.

More elaborate with finer detail, the new design offers delicate beauty.

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.

The professional style neck receiver increases togetherness of neck and body offering richer tones.

Hard steel springs provide a faster, more sensitive key response.

Semi-hard case offers a contemporary look and greater ease of transport.
