Yamaha YSS82ZR Bb Soprano Saxophone

Suitable for

The Yamaha YSS-82ZR B^b soprano sax is ideal for you a professional saxophonist looking for an instrument that can handle even the most demanding repertoire. 

A revelation for the modern day saxophone player, the new Custom Z soprano models are reminiscent of vintage Yamaha soprano saxophone designs that offers you a wide range of tonal colours.  The YSS-82ZR comes with a one piece curved neck rather than the straight neck of the YSS-82Z.

Based on the scale and design of the classic '62' models, Custom Z saxophones have bodies that are made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing 'feel', and the kind of tonal flexibility you've always dreamed of.

The Z plays evenly in all ranges, and gives you a huge dynamic range for as much - or as little - sound as you want. The Custom Z saxes have unparalleled tonal flexibility for confident performance in all styles of music, and there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound.
