Yamaha YSS-62R Soprano Saxophone 3-Digit 631 Original Rare!

Freshly overhauled June 2020. Photos coming soon.

Fantastic price on a beautiful and EARLY Yamaha 62R soprano! These are just about the most desirable modern sopranos, period. It has a mix of pads, mostly older, and it had a minor crease removed from the bell flare. It plays well on the current pads, and it’s the more desirable early version with low C# on ‘top’. Usually, I sell the 3-digit serial 62R’s about $1k higher than this, but I priced this one to be a deal for someone! There’s a little scrape on the pinky table keys, but not anything seriousl – just purely cosmetic. It’s a very good example and has almost all its original lacquer intact. Original case is in good shape too!

The 62R is prized for its warm, complex tone, excellent ergonomics and excellent intonation. If you want a warmer sounding soprano that isn’t just clear and round, but has some complexity and character to the sound, that’s the 62R. Also, the one piece body means you get full resonance – no neck socket to potentially cause you neck-fit problems. And the bent neck design puts the horn’s weight down onto the strap hook without your having to hold the horn straight out with your thumb. It’s super comfortable to play. I love these horns, and I totally get why they hold their value so well and keep getting more and more desirable.

Only one available!
