Key Features
The Yamaha YAS875EX Custom EX Alto Saxophone is designed for advanced and professional saxophonists seeking refined tone, responsive playability, and long-term musical development. Developed with input from internationally recognised saxophonists, the Custom EX combines an innovative body design with carefully selected materials to provide a focused sound and comfortable playing experience. Its Custom V1 neck produces a rich, full tone, while the handcrafted one-piece bell enhances resonance and improves intonation throughout the middle and lower registers.
Professional features continue throughout the instrument, including a nickel silver neck receiver for focused response, an adjustable teardrop Front F key, and a smooth ball joint octave mechanism for quicker action. Mother of pearl key buttons provide a secure, comfortable touch, while the hand-engraved lily bell design reflects the instrument's craftsmanship. The YAS875EX also includes a 4CM mouthpiece, ligature, and durable ASC-800E semi-hard backpack-style case.
Product Ref: 10503
The Custom EX was created in collaboration with accomplished professional saxophonists to give players greater expressive potential. Its unique 875 body shape provides moderate resistance and a solid, centred tone, helping you shape your sound with confidence across a wide range of musical styles. Optimised custom brass construction further supports the instrument's balanced response, making it equally suited to demanding solo performances, ensemble work, and advanced study.
The included Custom V1 neck is designed to produce a rich, full sound while maintaining excellent responsiveness. A rigid nickel silver neck receiver helps create a focused tone and quick response, while also allowing compatibility with Yamaha Custom Z and Custom EX necks (sold separately). Together, these features give you a dependable platform that can adapt to your playing preferences over time.
The handcrafted one-piece bell is formed from a single sheet of brass, strengthening the connection between the body and bell for improved resonance and smoother intonation in the middle and lower registers. Two-point bell contact supports strong projection, while integrated key posts provide measured resistance that allows the instrument to respond naturally as you play. The engraved lily design and Custom EX logo complete the instrument with an elegant finishing touch.
Every aspect of the YAS875EX is designed to support confident technique. The ball joint octave key promotes smoother, faster action, while the adjustable teardrop Front F key can be customised to suit your preferred hand position. Mother of pearl key buttons offer a secure, comfortable feel, and the redesigned left-hand seesaw key improves ergonomics during extended playing. A lightweight bow construction reduces blowing resistance, and the supplied ASC-800E semi-hard backpack-style case makes transport straightforward — whether you're heading to rehearsals, lessons, or performances.
