Yamaha YAS-62 Professional Alto Saxophone
The Yamaha YAS-62 is a professional E-flat alto saxophone from the celebrated 62 series, which has earned the respect of a wide range of players for its reliable performance and quality. The current YAS-62 uses a 62-style neck with a slightly narrower bore, a professional-style neck receiver and integrated key posts for a fast response and a solid tonal core.
It is built for serious students, advancing players and working musicians who want a dependable professional alto for ensembles, solo work and performance. This listing is the gold-lacquer YAS-62, supplied with a 4C mouthpiece and an ASC-600E semi-hard case.
Key Features
62-Style Neck with a Narrower Bore
The YAS-62 neck has a slightly narrower bore for a faster response and greater control. It lets air flow comfortably so players can achieve a solid tonal core.
Professional-Style Neck Receiver
The professional neck receiver strengthens the connection between neck and body for a richer tone. It also lets players switch between the supplied 62-style neck and Yamaha's Custom Z and Custom EX necks, sold separately.
Integrated Key Posts and 62 Body Shape
Integrated key posts add a moderate amount of resistance, so the YAS-62 responds as you blow into it. The traditional 62 body shape gives a brighter sound and a lighter playing feel.
Adjustable Teardrop Front F and High F#
The teardrop-shaped front F key improves playability and can be adjusted to suit the player. A high F# key is also fitted, along with an adjustable thumb hook.
Left-Hand Seesaw Key
The left-hand seesaw key is shaped for better playability and a more comfortable feel through technical passages.
Two-Point Contact and Bell Ring
Two-point contact enhances projection and gives a free-blowing response on the YAS-62 alto saxophone. A bell ring helps the instrument vibrate well as you play.
Hand-Engraved 62-Style Two-Piece Bell
The two-piece bell, made from two brass sheets joined by hand and then shaped, carries the 62-style engraving, a more elaborate design with finer detail.
Separate Key Guards and Clear Low Notes
Separate key guards with adjustable screw-cap stoppers allow professional-style technical adjustment. An improved low B–C# connection ensures the low C# key closes consistently for a clear low register.
