That vintage feel

Play with a classic touch. The YSS82ZR Customs were designed to capture the essence of vintage Yamaha soprano saxophones. Thanks to a similar scale and design, the 82 range is based on the classic '62' models. These instruments were a favourite amongst Soprano saxophonists, known for their amazing ability to stay in tune. Such intonation can be hard to find in a soprano. The YSS82ZR, the newest addition for the soprano sax range, continues this quality with outstanding response and tonal flexibility too. Play rich tonal colours with this distinctive design.

Performance-ready

This sax has the sound you need for any concert. With a huge dynamic range, you can give your performance a full-bodied power, or a soft delicacy. The YSS82ZR soprano is perfect for any genre too, so you'll be ready for jazz clubs or classical music halls. This is thanks to its unparalleled tonal flexibility, playing evenly across all ranges for confidence in every musical style. Any performer knows the importance of a good mouthpiece for their sound, and with the YSS82ZR you're all ready to go with a high-quality Ebonite 4CM mouthpiece. With a Yamaha case included too, you'll look smart and your instrument will be protected on the move.

Yamaha's exceptional playability

Yamaha's mechanisms are second to none. The YSS82ZR is equipped with new key designs, for greater comfort with enhanced ergonomics. A lower vent tubing design too adds to your playability, reducing the noise on lower vent key action for more seamless playing. Then, its revised rib plate provides a solid feel under your fingers whilst improving your resonance too.

This sax is a pleasure to play. You'll enjoy a new level of flexibility as you perform thanks to the lightweight nature of this special brass alloy in a one-piece neck-through-bell design. Make sure it fits your hands perfectly with an adjustable thumb hook for the perfect fingering position. In fact, Yamaha are careful to make sure that their key layout is very similar to their alto and tenor saxophones, so making the transition to soprano is seamless.

Beautiful appearance

The beauty of this saxophone matches its tone. Its seamless body with a one-piece neck-through-bell design is an impressive design. The hand-engraving on the bell is a painstaking touch of class, demonstrating the true quality of this instrument. The addition of the mother of pearl buttons adds extra flair.
