I compared the Yamaha YAS-62 with the Yanagisawa WO-1. Sound-wise I found the Yamaha to be more saxophonic, raw and better sounding, unfortunately in the a, h, his, c and cis (top end of the unblown saxophone) it was much less in tune than the Yanagisawa. I found the lower end of the overblown (d, dis and e) to be better on the Yamaha, but it wasn't a big difference. Compared to the Yanagisawa, it has much worse sticky pads and it also has plastic fingerboards. If I were a more experienced saxophonist and could deal better with the worse intonation, and possibly have some of the stickers replaced if they still stuck, I might choose the Yamaha for the sound alone. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT I HAVE DIRECTLY COMPARED THE INTONATION WITH ONE OTHER SAXOPHONE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COMPARED TO 90% OF OTHER SAXOPHONES ON THE MARKET THIS INSTRUMENT TUNES BETTER !!!

  • The saxophone looks precision made and sounds good. Compared to the higher end professional saxophones from Yamaha made in Japan, it is actually very cheap and a bargain.
  • Compared to some other saxophones, intonation can be more difficult (especially for inexperienced players). It has plastic fingerboards and sticky pads. Better fingerboards and fingerboard pads are only found on the 82Z and 875EX.

Yamahu YAS-62 jsem srovnával s Yanagisawou WO-1. Zvukově mi přišla taková saxofonovitější, syrovější a lépe znějící Yamaha, bohužel v oblasti a, h, his, c a cis (horní konec nepřefouknutého saxofonu) ladila mnohem hůř než Yanagisawa. Spodní konec přefouknutého (d, dis a e) mi přišel lepší u Yamahy, ale nebyl to velký rozdíl. Oproti Yanagisawě má mnohem horší lepivé podlepky a má taky plastové hmatníky. Kdybych byl zkušenější saxofonista a lépe bych se dokázal vypořádat s horší intonací, a případně si nechal vyměnit některé podlepky, pokud by stále lepily, tak bych kvůli samotnému zvuku možná volil Yamahu. UPOZORŇUJU, ŽE INTONACI JSEM PŘÍMO SROVNÁVAL S JEDNÍM DALŠÍM SAXOFONEM, ŽE MOŽNÉ, ŽE OPROTI 90% OSTATNÍCH SAXOFONŮ NA TRHU TENTO NÁSTROJ LADÍ LÉPE !!!

  • Saxofon vypadá precizně vyrobený a dobře zní. Oproti vyšším profesionálním saxofonům od Yamahy vyrobených v Japonsku je vlastně velmi levný a výhodný.
  • Oproti některým jiným saxofonům může být (zejména pro nezkušené hráče) obtížnější intonace. Má plastové hmatníky a lepivé podlepky. Lepší hmatníky a podlepky jsou až u 82Z a 875EX.
