Yamaha’s Legendary “62” Tenor Saxophone

In professional circles, the Yamaha “62” is a true legend. Regarded as the original “do-everything” professional tenor saxophone, the YTS-62 was developed in collaboration with a renowned classical saxophonist through an extensive multi-year design program. Input from leading jazz saxophonists ensured exceptional cross-genre versatility. As a result, professional players across all musical styles rely on the YTS-62 as their primary tenor sax.

Today, the third-generation YTS-62III owes its best-seller status and worldwide popularity to Yamaha’s visionary designers and highly skilled artisans, whose work reflects precision, passion, and consistency. The YTS-62 includes Yamaha’s highly regarded TS4C mouthpiece and a durable, attractive case. If you are ready to step up to a truly professional tenor saxophone that also represents outstanding value, the Yamaha YTS-62III is an exceptional choice.

A Perfect Balance of Features, Playability, and Value

Refined yet powerful, the Yamaha YTS-62III delivers an almost ideal balance of professional features, effortless playability, and long-term value. It includes all the hallmarks of a professional instrument, such as a high F# key, adjustable thumb hook, hard steel needle springs, and smooth, consistent key action.

The included 62-style neck features a slightly narrower bore taper, providing faster response, greater control, and improved note focus for more precise intonation. Most players will appreciate the comfortable airflow and strong tonal core this design provides. The upgraded professional neck receiver also allows compatibility with custom Yamaha necks such as the V1 (sold separately).

Hand engraving is applied after lacquering to enhance contrast with the brass. The elegant floral design adds a luxurious appearance, while a special protective topcoat helps preserve the instrument’s beauty over time.
