@@egdavis0820 try them out, I only mentioned because the keys seemed small to me at first and they turned out to be fine, great instruments, worth a try at least for fun!
@@brianmyers8350 Ya, you have large hand man... like huge paws... so if it is seems small to you.... it will probably fit me fine... I will let you know
@@egdavis0820 Yes, I teach online through Beacock Music in Vancouver Washington usa, we do monthly subscriptions or one off lessons or lesson packages. Come hang! (virtually)
@@SaxSith for me the difference is like pepsi vs coke honestly, both company's make great horns, they feel and sound different but each is mechanically excellent and has a good sound and seems to play in tune. I own a couple yamaha's and have owned a custom z so definitely a yamaha fan (the custom z is a great horn) that said the yannigisawas seemed special and were fun to play, great looks too.
@@brianmyers8350 thank you very much:)one more question: is yas 62 enough of a horn,or 82z is worthy of spending a bit more? I’m talking about professional use of an alto sax. I played for 35 years a mk6,it’s great but so beaten up that I need a new horn and don’t want a supreme:)
@@SaxSith oh man, the 62 is a fantastic horn, no hesitation on that one. If you love the 82Z and have the cash go for it but honestly the 62 is a more than adequate pro horn. I play tenor as my first instrument and I have a couple selmers but I play also alto on gigs and recordings all the time and my alto is an old Yamaha allegro I purchased new around 2002 or 2003. It is below the 62 but it has never held me back. I’ve thought about upgrading many times but when I play test it against others it’s so almost there that it’s not worth the money to me for an upgrade. I’ve played a number of 62’s and really liked all of them, Yamaha makes consistent and excellent saxophones for sure. Sure when I try a super high end model from one of the big horn companies it has more bells and whistles and a fatter sound than my allegro but most of the really fancy ones are 5 to 10 thousand dollars these days and the difference between them isn’t enough to me to justify spending thousands of bucks on a supreme or some such thing! If you get a 62 you’ll have a super solid pro horn that will work for life with the right care. If you get rich you can always add a top shelf horn but even if you did I’d keep a reasonable Yamaha around for when the fancy one is in the shop or for traveling. Hope that helps! Shred on!
Excellent playing i liked the 10 model more than 01 .
unfortunately, I have small hands... I wonder if it will be ok?
