Introduced in 1979, the YAS-62 and YTS-62 saxophones withstand the tests of time and competition and have been in a continual state of improvement since the launch of the YAS-61 in 1969. The new YAS-62IIIA carries the tradition of excellence forward while introducing further refinements to the already sound design of the 62. The new 62 neck's slightly narrower bore provides a faster response and greater control relative to its predecessor. The 62 style neck allows a comfortable flow of air so that every player can attain a solid tonal core. The engraving is now more elaborate with finer detail, 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, and the instrument now comes with a semi-hard case that offers a contemporary look and greater ease of transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYamaha YAS-62IIIA Professional Alto Saxophone Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEb alto saxophone with brass body and integrated key posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck with narrower bore taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded professional neck receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh F#, front F auxiliary keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved Low B–C# connection mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable thumb hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard steel needle springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElaborate hand engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuxiliary keys: Front F, High F#\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Amber Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: 62 Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: 4C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Set up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightly used instrument in excellent condition with no cosmetic defects.
