Perfect for players demanding the highest standards in a gold plated instrument

Refined and elegant. Yamaha's highly evolved flagship model features stress-free key work, low-register playability and arguably the best intonation of any saxophone. The Custom YSS-875EXGP gold plated soprano gives the performer full expressive freedom.

Description

Yamaha Custom series saxophones are designed with some of the greatest players in the world and hand built by the cream of Yamaha's expert craftsman. Meticulously developed from the finest materials and built with innovative features, Yamaha Custom saxophones provide the rich sounds and expressive feel to elevate the performance level of even the best saxophonists.

The YSS-875EXGP has been developed over several decades of painstaking research and trials involving some of the world's greatest saxophonists. Featuring a smooth response and a refined sound full of rich colours. It has a reassuringly sold feel yet a quick and nimble playing action, a wide dynamic range, stunning projection, and an authoritative tone with a beautifully designed tonal core.

The YSS-875EXGP features two necks in straight and curving styles to suit players preferences.

The brass body is left unlacquered and plated with beautiful bright gold plating. The lack of lacquer does mean occasional cleaning is required in order to maintain the finish. However, the added layer of resonant precious metal gives more projection and a wonderful extra dimension to the sound.

Review

These Custom saxes ooze quality - design, build, ergonomics, tuning, playability - just pick it up to know you have your hands on one of the World's great soprano saxes. In that critical area of intonation, there is probably none better. These gold plated models are simply incredible if you have the budget to add one to your armoury. Phill (Sax.co.uk)

Please note: Yamaha does not allow us to sell you this saxophone if you live outside of the EU. We highly recommend browsing the exceptional range of Yanagisawa saxophones which are available for all international customers.
