[Condition.]
The lacquer parts have been peeled off except for the pink gold plated parts. However, the lacquer remains on some parts of the key and other small parts. There are no dents or accidents. The inside of the pipe has been cleaned, all tampos (metal resonator with CHANU rivets*), corks and felts have been replaced, and the instrument has been overhauled and adjusted.
To further enhance the potential of the *82 series, the tampos are CHANU pads made in France, which are used on the SELMER.

[Features]
Yamaha Z series alto saxophone 2014 limited production model. The red Bis key butterfly shell and bell engraving exclusive to this model are special in appearance, but the sound is also special. The neck and other parts that affect the rise and focus of the sound are plated with pink gold, which gives it more glamour and volume. However, the pink gold plated customization has a drawback that if you make a mistake, it can result in a somewhat dull feeling, but since the body of the instrument is unlacquered, the flexibility and light blowing comfort of the Z model can be obtained. It is one that shows high performance in big band and jazz performances.

All repair work is done in cooperation with Odagiri Workshop, a saxophone repair shop specializing in saxophones.
