Based on the scale and design of the classic ’62’ models, Custom Z saxes are made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing-feel, and superb tonal flexibility. The Z plays evenly in an expansive 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 without sacrificing comfort. Available with a straight neck (YSS-82Z) or curved neck (YSS-82ZR).
