If you want to know what the most popular professional alto saxophone line is, then it’s the Yamaha YAS-82Z line of professional alto saxophones. These professional quality instruments are an absolute sight to behold. They are beautifully crafted and even more than that, they sound amazing.
The YAS-82Z Professional Alto Saxophone features a 2-piece hydro-formed bell. The body, bell, and bow are annealed during production to make this horn more responsive and freer blowing. New features on the 82Z allow for faster action and easier repair.The blue steel springs help create faster, more sensitive key response and higher resiliency.
The horn is available in silver, black, and unlacquered finishes. I think the sliver is absolutely stunning, but the black is also fantastic.
These horns tend to retail around $3,000. For a truly professional quality insturment, that’s about par for the course. You can’t expect to get this kind of quality without paying for it.
