Yamaha YTS-62II

About the Yamaha YTS-62II

The YTS-62II's newly designed neck receiver improves tone evenness compared to the original YTS-62, while a custom-styled octave key redesign was aimed specifically at smoother, quicker response - refinements to an already well-established platform rather than a fresh design. Silicon-treated leather pads protect against moisture damage more effectively than untreated leather, an important durability consideration for a horn that will absorb a lot of condensation over years of regular playing.

Blue steel needle springs and acoustic annealing of the body give faster, more sensitive key response and a superior tonal character, while its slightly narrower bore delivers a comfortable blow, faster response, easy control and a slightly darker tone with a more solid tonal core than a wider-bore alternative. Produced for roughly a decade before the current 62III generation, the YTS-62II remains a well-regarded used purchase for players wanting Yamaha's flagship tenor sound at a lower price than current production.
