  1. Eb Alto
    Hi All! I've been playing sax for about 12 years now and am quite serious about it, especially with doing more gigs now. I've been playing a Yamaha 475 alto (made in Japan) and it is great. I've tried many pro horns and never felt that there is a need to upgrade. However (If it's not sold...

    A Tale of 2 Necks & 1 Yamaha 82Z tenor G1 vs V1 I made a video comparing the stock G1 model neck on this black lacquer 82Z tenor with a solid silver V1 neck.

    82Z Tenor owners, what case do you recommend for daily use? Although the original case is good quality, it's a bit unwieldy for me for transport along with other music gear. I like the popular Protec backpackable case for its pockets for stand, pocket for music, light weight, and backpackable...

    Decided to stick with a 82Z horn. I have a 82Z .. have an option to get 82Z II for a little more ... is it worth it. I would like to get a pro horn and keep it for a while. I am liking the 82Z so far...

    Long story short...my student's mother told me their repairman recommended some expensive repairs. She asked me to play her son's lacquered 82Z tenor to see if the repairman's recommendation was legitimate. I played the horn. Not only did it not need repairs...but it felt and sounded a lot...

    I'll be in Ontario, California next week and need some recommendations for reputable maintenance work (leaking/sticking pads) on my Yamaha alto 82ZUL.

    I have ordered 82zs tenor, but they sent me 875exs tenor... Panic... I am living in South Korea and have been waiting over a week for this horn. I know 875exs is more expansive, but I really don't need it. Even I can not resell it in here. Nobody seeks this model in my country. Now I should...
