Hello,
I am currently looking into getting a new professional model sax. So far here is what I have tried at my local music store:
Yamaha YAS 875EXW
-the action and keys feel just about perfect
-palm keys sound amazing
-pitch is very good
-the tone is a little thin
Yamaha YAS 62II
-bright sound
-action and keys are okay
-tone and pitch are both amazing
Cannonball Raven
- very bright
- perfect amount of resistance
- low C and down come out great and are in tune!
- high Eb is very flat and requires a lot of adjustment
Out of these three, the Raven was my favorite. I am curretnly waiting on an 82z to get shipped in and I am very excited. Anyways, what do you all recommend? What companies are most trusted? What do you all play and are you happy with what you have?
