I have a YSS 475 ii and I love it. I like playing it more than I like playing my alto, which is kind of the alto equivalent, being a YAS 480. There's just something about the YSS 475 that is more fun to play, and I love the sound I get out of it. It's a very solid instrument; feels good in my small hands. Anyway, great review and you play beautifully.
Maybe you can help me? For some reason I actually am more proficient at playing the soprano sax more so than the tenor. I have difficulty playing the tenor more than the soprano. Why is this?
Usually what it comes down to is Embouchure. Soprano and Alto have very similar mouth and throat shapes for full sounds, and also don't need AS MUCH air. When you switch to Tenor, it's a pretty drastic change for keeping everything relaxed, all things considered. Long tones on Tenor while paying attention to the tightness (you want this to be relaxed) around the mouthpiece as well as how fast your air is moving for a full tone can do wonders! - Andrew
@@alamomusicbando Hey thanks for the helpful tips! I will work on relaxing up a bit on my embochure. This usually happens after I play on my soprano and go to my tenor. I’m wanting to use the same tightness on my tenor. Thank you much!
Howdy! Thank you! I am using a Otto Link Tone Edge 7 in this video. The reeds were the Filed D'addario Jazz Selects 3S with an old clarinet ligature that fit and held great!

Great review. May I please know your setup for this Yamaha soprano? What brand of mouthpiece and size?
