Yamaha Custom YAS-82ZU Alto Saxophone Unlacquered
Yamaha Custom YAS-82ZU with the original G1 neck. For what it's worth, my favorite 82Z iteration is the unlacquered model. There's something about its extra resonance and vibration that gives me a ton of joy when I'm playing these. My main classical alto is the Yamaha Custom 875EX, and I am currently toying with the idea of removing all of the lacquer to see if can get some extra ring and projection. So, if you're going to buy an 82Z, do yourself a favor and don't consider any other version than the unlacquered model.
This one was lightly used for about 4 years. It's in wonderful mechanical condition. It just got back from the shop (January 2015) from Washington DC's best repairman, so everything is sealing absolutely perfectly. Unlike a bunch of used saxes out there, this one was professionally evaluated and brought back to perfect playing condition. You won't need to take this to the shop once you get it. It should be good to go right from the box.
As with every sax sold on dcsax.com, this sax comes with a 7-day return policy. If there's any reason you don't like it, you are welcome to return it in its original condition for a full refund, provided you pay for shipping/insurance both ways.
