One-piece bell with new engraving In the tradition of those coveted vintage saxophones, the 82Z now comes equipped with a one-piece bell! This feature drastically improves low end response and offers the player a wider palette of tonal color. More elaborate with finer detail, the new engraving design offers delicate beauty. Metal Resonators Domed metal resonators offer an outstanding response and deliver a wider dynamic range. The entire range of the instrument has a clearer pronunciation, providing effortless playability all around. V1 neck The wide bore taper of the V1 neck provides offers a free-blowing feel and the greatest possible flexibility. This combination of features allows the player the ultimate level of tonal expression. Improved Low B-C# connection An improved mechanism from low B to C# ensures a proper seal for these notes which promotes a clear response throughout the low range of the instrument. Lighter thumb hook and thumb rest bases Lighter thumb rest and thumb hook base designs produce better response and a more cohesive tone. Adjustable Front F key An adjustable Front F mechanism gives the player the freedom to find the optimal level of resistance in the altissimo range. Z Style Case The 82Z saxophones come in slim, lightweight cases which provide excellent protection. A convenient shoulder strap is also included. The new 82ZII has a new, one-piece bell which really makes this model play with more resonance and "meat" than the earlier 82Z and also includes a new, re-designed Low B-C# adjusting screw connection. Finishes include Lacquer (YAS-82ZXII or YAS-82ZIIWOF, without the High F# Key), Black Lacquer (YAS-82ZIIB), Silver-Plate (YAS-82ZIIS) and Un-lacquered (YAS-82ZIIU or YAS-82ZIIUWOF, without the High F# key). We have found the Black Lacquer finish to be exceptional with added warmth and better projection. The Silver-Plate is also quite good in this model. Sax Alley price includes our "New Horn Set Up" and FREE SHIPPING so the instrument will play as well as possible once you receive it.
