Rich tone with enhanced projection
The Custom G1 neck and two-point bell contact work together to create a warm, rounded tone with added projection. This setup enhances the saxophone's ability to carry through in ensembles or large spaces while maintaining detail and character in quieter passages. The nickel silver neck receiver further improves tonal density, offering a balanced response across all registers.
Comfortable, responsive playability
The ergonomic key layout is specifically designed to match the natural shape of the hands, helping reduce fatigue and allowing players to focus fully on musical expression. Additional features like the adjustable tear-drop front F key, seesaw key and soft mother-of-pearl key buttons ensure maximum comfort during play, particularly across fast passages and extended sessions.
Precision-crafted for smooth transitions
A standout feature of the YAS875EX is the ball-joint octave key, which improves key movement by reducing mechanical resistance. Combined with the integrated key posts and lightweight bow (without reinforcement plate), players benefit from responsive articulation and easier control over dynamics and phrasing. This makes intricate playing smoother and more natural.
Handcrafted details that elevate performance
The one-piece bell is hand-hammered from a single sheet of brass, delivering solid tonal unity and more accurate intonation in the mid to lower range. The hand-engraved lily design and Custom EX logo provide a subtle nod to the instrument's craftsmanship, while the separate-style key guards offer room for professional adjustment. It also includes a semi-hard rucksack-style case for easy, secure transport.
