Accessories Yamaha neck comparison article

I've stumbled upon this Yamaha custom neck comparison by Erin Royer, who is a respected classical player and a repair technician.
The article contains not only the player's perception but also bore shape measurements as well as some oscilloscope analysis.

I thought some people might find it useful.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing. Yamaha is doing a great job with their optional necks. Their engineering culture shows through.
I regret that Selmer Paris doesn’t offer a similar approach.

Nice comparison, thank you for sharing. I'm curious how those 3 necks compare to the G1, G2, G3, and M1 Yamaha necks? I ended up purchasing a V1 for my Alto, which came with a G1 neck. Feels like it really opened up my sound.

I've just acquired a YTS-82zII-03 and it came with the V1 neck. Since the C1 is out of my price range, I've been considering either a 62 neck or a G1 neck to bring things down to earth for classical and concert band music. I've been playing a Selmer S90/180 mouthpiece, but change to the S80 mouthpiece to bring things down a bit. Not sure if the 62 or G1 neck would be better for classical/concert band music?

I found a C1 and E1 neck for my 82z Tenor. I LOVE the E1!
