Design and construction elements
One of the best-made altos available, the YAS-62III features fully ribbed construction, yet its weight is comfortable and well balanced. It is hand-adjusted, and the two-piece bell, body and neck and are all hand-hammered. Its new engraving design is done by hand, instilling a uniqueness into each instrument. Multiple key posts are integrated into a single plate. This lends the horn moderate resistance while delivering a solid core with deep tone color. Hard steel needle springs offer a fast, sensitive key response. It has a Front F key along with a high F# key and an adjustable thumb rest.
New Features of the YAS-62III
The world saxophone community has had its hands on the YAS-62III since 2013. The response is all positive, and the experts at Woodwind & Brasswind agree. The redesigned neck of the 62III appeals to a broad range of saxophonists. Its moderate bore and taper design provide fast response, ease of control and most of all, a sweet and compact sound. The YAS-62III also features a redesigned B-C# connection that allows for more precise key adjustments.
