Yamaha YAS-575AL Alto Saxophone, Just Serviced
Yamaha Allegro YAS-575AL alto saxophone. If you're looking for a great horn under $2000, this one should be at the top of your list. Yamaha discontinued the 52 a few years ago and came out with this model, meant as an upgrade to that classic intermediate model. The sax comes with a G1 neck, which is the same neck that ships with the professional level Yamaha 62. The sax feels great to hold and has keywork similar to the top of the line Custom horns, a major upgrade from their student models. Although I don't have a 52 to play test this against, this feels like a slight upgrade from that horn, possibly due to the G1 neck. The sax has a more direct and focused sound than the Custom series, and plays very well in tune.
The sax was just adjusted by my repairman, so the pads are sealing well and the horn plays very well from top to bottom.
