At that point, you are into some pretty amazing tone with not too much money invested. JCS Winds offers a unique selection of high quality wind instruments and accessories. It also opens it up more and makes the altissimo unbelievably responsive. Just a quick note – The original necks on these horns are already very good, but if you want to go more vintage in tone, here’s a great trick: If you can find a Boesken neck and put it on here (the one I used was the gold plated one in the necks section of this site) it makes the horn into more of a vintage SBA/early VI type tone. It spent its life in a low-humidity closet in California, so everything about it is still pristine. Based on the specifications of the companys original flagship 62 series, the YTS-62 is Yamahas most popular professional series tenor saxophone. This horn has just had ALL NEW PADS put in by Matt Stohrer, who is one of the best saxophone techs in the business. And my asking price is less than the new price would have been back in 1980 dollars. It is as close as you will get to going back to 1980 and buying one new. There is not so much as a scratch on this horn.

This is an early serial 62 and the silk screen Yamaha logo is still perfect as well. Everything is still perfect and all original, and it even includes the case keys, strap, cork grease, and owner’s manual. This particular 62 is in like new condition. For anyone who wants to go vintage but not too vintage, this horn is a no-brainer. That makes these very hard horns to beat. The 62 has bags of power and projection, but no matter how hard you push it theres never a sense that the tone is getting away from you. They have a vintage warmth and interest to the tone while keeping Yamaha’s excellent ergonomics and intonation. Notes on the MKII YTS62 (April 05): It's hard to spot any differences in the latest version.

This saxophone is sold! But click here to see our current selection of tenor saxophones.Įach of the Yamaha models has its strengths and weaknesses, but as far as I am concerned, the purple label 62’s are easily the best made so far. So, in summing up - the purple logo is now officially a classic pro horn that ought to be on any prospective buyer's shopping list - and despite its newer, flashier competitors from the same factory (and others) it's still a horn that makes me go 'Yup'.
