YAMAHA Custom Z
saxophone unlacquered
Free up your sound with an unlacquered
sax! Lose the dampening effect of all that lacquer and let your horn resonate
freely.
This one can really take you there...
This has to be
one of the most exciting things to happen to the sax world in modern times.
Finally: a modern sax that actually captures the sound and feel of those
treasured classic saxes of the past! - while adding state-of-the-art intonation
and mechanism. Based on the scale of the classic '62' models, the new Custom Z
saxes 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 you want. The Custom G1 neck helps produce a quick
and agile response, while any key action and placement feel just right.
You can create whatever style
tone you're after,
from vintage to contemporary,
and
there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound. These horns literally
'have it all'.
These saxes come in slim ultra lightweight cases which provide excellent protection. A convenient carrying strap is also included.
"When I took it into the studio there was a new kind of intrinsic beauty that I hadn't heard in my other horns. This 82Z is far, far superior."
Phil Woods.
<<<The unlacquered horn is far left alongside its lacquered partner. The one pictured has been instore for 3 weeks and is beginning to tarnish nicely with a warm natural aged look. This process will continue over time.
