Yamaha YTS-62 02 Tenor Sax

Ho comprato questo sassofono convinto dalle recensioni degli utenti che l'hanno comprato e devo ammettere che è veramente eccellente. E' facile da suonare, è ergonomico e ha un bel suono a patto di cambiare l'imboccatura 4C che fornisce la Yamaha. In sostituzione dell'imboccatura 4C, che mi dava un suono stridulo da trombetta che non mi piaceva, ho comprato un Otto Link 6, ora il suono è pieno, corposo. Ho trovato un po di difficoltà la prima settimana ma ora mi sono abituato e sono soddisfatto degli acquisti e del suono del sax.

great value , forget those 2500-6000 , this is all you need.


I spent a long time reviewing, reviews, youtube videos, etc... I previously used a selmer paris SA80 black finish, then a Bauhaus Walstein TS pro silver;

The current pricing for tenors of the same caliber is just crazy in euros, rip-off city, hence my caution at just buying another of the same 2 brands or similar, after seeing the pricing at 3-6k euros.

In the end after seeing several video reviews and deciding I was not going to settle for an expensive student model, I really wanted to stay mid range.

While not the quickest usually at dispatching Thomann this time around did manage to do so by 20-24 hours after sending SEPA transfer.

It was the DHL transport time that killed me, I just really wanted it fast, lol, could not wait.

The YTS62 MK II key mechanism feels great, and very responsive, no sticking or delays.... note: dont forget to lookfor all the shippping cork wedges , theres a few hidden around the back I did not see at first look ,lol.

The included mouthpiece is actually pretty decent, though I also switch back to my selmer C* and tested with both using my B&G ligature and no.3 reeds.

I also have a vandoren metal mouthpiece on the way I hope to try out.

Cons : I think my main and only gripe has to be the case. There is a convex swelling of it in the direction of the outter case-longh zipped pouch area, which results in reduced capacity.

For the value of it too their should be better branded and quality reeds included, but thats just me .

Overall after having only one full band rehearsal with it, playing a wide variety of music types that night, the response was great.

I would recommend this to any for :

1.student concert band /marching band
2. student for 2 years and continuing
3. for those with the mid-high range sax, this is a great value backup
4. cheaper alternative to a selmer paris SA80 ( i do miss mine) :)

Kind Regards
