Designed for the best
The Yamaha YBS62S is one of the best options for the advancing baritone saxophone player. Yamaha has improved the mechanism by redesigning the front F, low A, octave key, palm keys, upper and lower table keys. This improvement enables the saxophone to respond better across the whole range, but especially the low register.
To further enhance the tone of the saxophone, Yamaha has introduced a 62-style neck to the YBS62S. Known in the industry for providing a smooth and polished tone, this neck is sure to enhance the playing of any keen sax player.
Comfort is key
Everything about the YBS62S baritone saxophone has been designed to maximise comfort while playing. Firstly, Yamaha shortened the bell on the YBS62S which provides a consistent sound across all registers. This also resulted in the sax being lighter and therefore easier to handle.
Yamaha understands that most baritone saxophone players start learning on the alto or tenor first. This is why Yamaha designed the key layout to be lighter and more ergonomic, so transitioning from other models is an effortless experience. The keys have even been moved closer together so the saxophone is easier to handle.
At the bottom of the Yamaha YBS62S baritone sax, you'll find their new peg design. Although not included, having the option to play with a peg is a great advantage for bari sax players. Around the back of the sax, you'll find Yamaha's new strap-ring positioning which provides you with a more natural playing style.
Outstanding Japanese quality
Yamaha's top-level instruments are known for having an outstanding build quality - the YBS62S is no exception. To give the brass body optimum density, it undergoes a unique acoustic annealing process. This helps to enhance the model's playability and makes it more comfortable to hold. It also provides a consistent level of resistance across the range of the saxophone.
