i am popping to Norway over the weekend til wednesday and i know a yamaha specialist there so i will ask him if he knows of anything similar if you don't find anything in the U.K. first that is...
good hunting i hope you get 1, an original purple logo 62 is such a solid sounding saxophone way better than the newer versions, i tried them all
Good too see the sound of class has finally reached your ears Davey Enjoy the new 992..
Chris..
ok i will not ask him if you are sure.....but i will probably see if he has a Z anywayJust leave it fella.I'm a Z man really.I love them but keep selling them !!!!!!!!!!! got a very niceeee Yanagisawa bronze 992 tenor till i find my dream Z so i'll cope.

nice 1 best you got that cos i literally today in Oslo just test run a couple of custom Z for you and they are no where near as good as the purple logo 62 for the price difference ratio, basically the same mechanically except the low BFlat mechanism but with a noticably less brighter sound and less projection, still a good sax but purple 62 is way better value overall...I'm sorted with a monster silver plated 62 tenor,all ends well.

could of blew loads of more yams,black 1's.Sold out of UL .Traded in my 992.I was short on cash to pick my choice of a silver Z so in the end I tested the 62's and the new silver 62 is HUGE sounding.It just soars.I had a couple of 62 purple altos and a purple 62 tenor years ago and forgot how good they are.Not much in it between the Z's and 62's.The new 875EX yams are nice but not as big as the Z/62's I find.Like I've said many times yam have the best key board going.Superslick.I went with another Z in my sights but i'm well happy with this 62.Looks stunning also.My last Z was silver also.Di I mention how HUGE of a monster it sounds !!!!!!!!!! Nice to be back in the Yamaha club.Overall it was a great fun day and my new yam is up on the wall stand looking veryyyyy nice.
Glad you are sorted,every time i have been up to Stu's place it as always been a memorable day.
Davey's Saxophone Of The Month (DSOTM) for May is a
YTS 62 silver
I am glad you found something you like! I have been tempted by that horn too.
Davey - great to hear you are full circle and back to the '62! I have a purple logo '62 tenor that i have owned for past 30 yrs, fantastic horn that just seems to get better & better with age. My first proper horn, and I reckon it will always be, inspite of the back up of the '61 (oh, and my RAW!)
Dare I say NO MORE this year.Thats my plan.See what happens )))))) The wife is very tired of it I must say
NO MORE this year.
