Yamaha "62": A Legend in the Professional Range
Already considered a safe bet, the Yamaha "62" has established itself as a benchmark tenor saxophone thanks to a design philosophy focused on performance and consistency. Its success is due as much to visionary designers as to the expertise of highly skilled craftsmen, capable of producing an instrument with remarkable finishing quality, designed to meet the demands of both regular musicians and stage artists.
For Which Saxophonists and Styles?
This B-flat tenor saxophone is primarily aimed at advanced intermediate, experienced, and professional musicians seeking an expressive, stable, and enjoyable instrument over time. Its balanced character makes it particularly comfortable in jazz, pop, orchestra, big band, or marching band settings, with a sound production that remains comfortable when chaining rehearsals, concerts, and sessions.
Sound and Design
The "62" neck, with its slightly narrower bore, promotes a clear attack, quick response, and better control, while helping to achieve a well centered tone. The key guards (multiple rods on a single pad) contribute to moderate resistance and a freer response, serving a rich and deep timbre. The elongated tone holes aid homogeneity and stability, while the two-piece bell supports projection. Regarding finish, the silver plating and hand engraving emphasize the instrument's premium positioning.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The saxophone comes with a standard BMPTS4C mouthpiece, a ligature, and a mouthpiece cap. A simple upgrade is to select a tenor reed set suited to your style (softer for immediate response, harder for more control). A tenor saxophone swab is also recommended to maintain pad response and longevity on a daily basis.
