Yamaha 82ZR:
Based on the scale and design of the classic '62' models, the 82ZRs' 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 the player a huge dynamic range for as much - or as little - sound as you want. The Custom Z saxes have unparalleled tonal flexibility for confident performance in all styles of music, and there's no need to sacrifice comfort for sound. YSS-82Z is available with a straight neck, while YSS-82ZR has a curved neck.

Yamaha 875EX:
Yamaha Custom EX sopranos are an improved version of the classic YSS-875, already considered by many to be the finest soprano saxes ever made. The new design with its G2 neck offers even broader expressive capabilities with wide dynamics, precise intonation, and a gorgeous sound with rich harmonics. The YSS-875EX comes with two necks - one straight and one curving - to suit different playing preferences.
