Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax – Dark Amber Lacquer

Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax – Dark Amber Lacquer
Handmade in Japan – YTS-82ZIIA

Released originally in 2003, the YTS-82Z Yamaha Custom Z series horns redefined the Yamaha professional saxophone concept. Offering exceptional intonation, build quality and performance, the new Yamaha Custom Z has quickly become one of the most trusted professional saxophones on the market. Then, in 2013, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Custom Z release, Yamaha launched the 2nd Generation YTS-82ZII further improving the line to offer players more than ever! While the 82Z is offered in multiple finishes, Yamaha has in the past only offered the dark amber lacquer in limited edition models which were very popular. Due to that popularity, as of 2024, the Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax in Dark Amber Lacquer is now a standard finish as the YTS-82ZIIA!

2nd Generation Yamaha Custom Z
Custom Z saxophones were completely reexamined from neck to bell to offer players even more. With the new V1 Custom neck, the Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax offers a richer tone than previous models while maintaining an exceptional combination of expressiveness, response and control while staying true to their free-spirited origins. Since the Custom Z Tenor Sax was developed in 2003, the technology, craftsmanship and specifications of the Custom Z series have continued to improve to fulfill the needs of the highest level musicians.

Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax Dark Amber Lacquer Finish & Special Engraving
The Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax in Dark Amber Lacquer has a unique hand engraving that is done by craftsmen after the amber lacquer is applied. This allows the engraving to enhance the contrast against the brass. After the engraving is performed, a special topcoat is applied to help protect the engraving and lacquer.

One Piece Bell
Aside from the new neck design, the other major improvement that the 2nd generation Yamaha Custom Z Tenor Sax received was in the bell. The first generation model utilized a hydro-formed 2 piece bell. While this is an efficient method of manufacturing, it was a radical departure from the traditional methods employed on pro horns throughout time. With the 2nd generation Yamaha Custom Z tenor sax, Yamaha has returned to the traditional one piece bell. This feature drastically improves low end response and offers the player a wider palette of tonal color.
