Description
The saxophone was invented in 1840 by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax. The sax is usually made of brass, but it is actually a woodwind instrument due to the single reed mouthpiece. Adolphe Sax set out to create a set of instruments that would close the gap between woodwind and brass instruments so he came up with saxophone that compliments both. He created the sax to be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds and the most adaptive of the brass. Yamaha has the YAS-62III which is a favorite saxophone among band directors. This saxophone has superior quality and durability redefining the market. This model was first introduced in 1969 and Yamaha is continuously making improvements. This new 62 model has a narrower bore that allows a faster response and greater control. It also has a new neck style that allows a comfortable flow of air so every player can attain a solid tonal core. It also has beautiful engravings on the bell.
