These are beautiful, professional saxophones. Some compare them to the Selmer France horns which is always fair but these offer a different sound. Most agree, these are brighter, more 'modern' sounding horns with consistent intonation and sound across not only the instrument itself, but also between instruments making it rare to find a 'bad' one where it has been looked after, serviced, even when well used. Purple logo editions are sought after because these early iterations of the 62 line were considered to be very well produced indeed and perhaps now because they are harder to find in good condition. The '62 line of Yamaha saxophones was top of the range and in the pro-level bracket with plenty of session musicians still using them for a bright, focused sound. Lovely action, logical keywork, excellent easy blowing even in the often difficult low register of the alto. In their own right, an excellent top level instrument and hold their own against Selmer, Yanagisawa and others at the same level. Read full review
