Yamaha YAS-82ZUL - Alto Saxohone - Unlacquered｜ Other Products

Ideal for the most demanding jazz saxophonist
Designed in partnership with the legendary Phil Woods, the 82ZUL captures the essence of those treasured classic saxes of the past, while adding state-of-the-art tuning and ergonomics.
Description
Yamaha Custom series saxophones are designed with some of the greatest players in the world and hand-built by the cream of Yamaha's expert craftsman. Meticulously developed from the finest materials and built with innovative features, Yamaha Custom saxophones provide rich sounds and an expressive feel to elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists. 
The Yamaha 82ZUL has a remarkably expressive sound with a solid core that comes as a result of the hand-hammered bell. An improved low B - low C# connection ensures that the low C# closes securely, giving players real confidence when playing in the lower register. The VI neck helps to create a more expressive saxophone, made possible by the more open feel that this neck gives along with a wider dynamic range. Made of a special lighter-weight brass alloy.
The lack of lacquer does mean the sax will tarnish but it frees up the brass to resonate to its full potential - more expressive, more resonant & more powerful!

Review
When I took it into the studio there was a new kind of intrinsic beauty that I hadn't heard in my other horns. This 82ZUL is far, far superior. Phil Woods.
