Features Hand engraving A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class. Compatible with other necks The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones. Improved Low B-C# connection An improved mechanism from low B-C# ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument. Neck The 62-style neck has been designed for improved tone and response. Key guard The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
