Yamaha YAS-875EXII Alto Saxophone 
Are you looking to invest in a new professional saxophone? Not sure what to get? Well look no further! We have can help you through this!  

 The all new Yamaha YAS-875EXII has been redesigned with today’s top professionals to provide a horn that offers the most expressive sound and stress-free playing experience. Yamaha horns in general are known for their ease in playability and exceptional intonation in all models; their professional models have action that supersede other competitors in today’s market.  The YAS-875EXII has a new design in their key layout, which gives the player an unrivaled comfort and provides stress-free and nimble action for fast, hard to play passages.

 During the re-design process, Yamaha took into consideration the low end of these horns. So with experimentation, they decided to reduce the diameter of the low C and D tone holes, which resulted in ease in playing the low end, without flux in sound, and without changing the resistance throughout the horn. Also re-designed is the Customer EX mouthpiece, which is included with this horn. The re-designed mouthpiece offers greater projection as well as soft, beautiful tonality. The shape of the tip has been modified for increased comfort and easier tonal control. 

With all that said, you’re looking at the top competitor in the market for professional saxophones. You have to get your hands on one of these horns to experience the Yamaha difference

Refined, Elegant Sound.

An evolved flagship model with stress-free key work and low-register playability, the Custom EX gives the performer full expressive freedom.

Brand New Key Layout

The new Custom EX alto saxophone has had a complete overhaul of the key layout. Changes to the Front F key shape and mechanism, a position change of the left-hand palm keys, left-hand table keys, right-hand side keys and right-hand pinky keys offers a smoother playing experience giving players more confidence when performing. With the new, more ergonomic key layout design, the new Custom EX gives players unrivaled comfort and provides stress-free and nimble action.

Easy to Play in the Lower Register

During the design process, Yamaha experimented with new methods for producing the bottom bow of the instrument. The diameter of the low C and D toneholes has been reduced and Yamaha’s unique acoustic annealing process has been applied to enhance low note playability. Resistance is consistent throughout the instrument’s range.

Outstanding Intonation

Yamaha saxophones are renowned for their fantastic intonation and the new Custom EX is no different. Yamaha has optimized the tonehole sizes and positions which has made the intonation on this new instrument better than ever.

Elegant Engraving Design

The Custom EX saxophone features a new ‘lily’ design which is hand engraved on every instrument.

Redesigned Ebonite Mouthpiece

The Custom EX saxophone is complemented by Yamaha’s redesigned Custom ebonite mouthpiece. The baffle, chamber, and other areas of internal design have been re-designed for greater projection as well as soft, beautiful tonality. The shape of the tip has been modified for increased comfort and easier tonal control.

Backpack-style Case

The semi-hard backpack-style case supplied with the new Custom EX is made from a stylish durable material and features a special Custom EX badge.
