Yamaha YAS-62A - Alto Saxophone - Limited Edition
A one-off Limited Edition model from Yamaha, showcasing a unique engraving a stunning finish and heavy-mass neck screw
The Yamaha YAS-62 is considered one of the most reliable and reputable professional saxophones in its class. One step below Yamaha's Custom models, the 62 represents great value for money as it shares many of the characteristics of the top designs yet is made available at a much lower price point. To those players who are looking to upgrade their student sax to a higher-level model, the YAS-62 should be top of their list!
Yamaha is world famous for their instrument manufacturing and it is well known that their products represent quality across the board. One of their design techniques is to use a 'top-down' method which means that Yamaha uses the research and development from their top models and applies it to their lower-tier models. This means that the lower-level models - the 280, 480, and in this case, the 62 - all benefit from the high level of engineering that is on hand in the Custom models; this includes very similar keywork, similar high-level intonation and a quality of tone that is very close by comparison.
Very much designed as a blank canvas, this horn is at home in pretty much any context from rock to classical and any style in between! Anyone who’s finding themselves held back by their student instrument, or a more advanced player looking for a great sax on a budget should consider a 62 as their next step forward.

Staff Review
This is a real beauty of a one-off sax from Yamaha. A stunning amber lacquer contrasting beautifully with the silver plated keys - brings back the vibe of Yamahas of yesteryear. The heavy mass neck screw adds an extra weight and robustness to the sound; it's subtle, but from the player point of view you do notice it when AB'd with a regular 62 sax!
