This is a gorgeous, special order Yamaha ‘Atelier’ 82z tenor without high F# and with dark lacquer. These Atelier tenors get a lot of special treatment from the Yamaha pro shop, and they play like it. This one is big, medium between bright and dark, and rich sounding with lots of projection. Low register is effortless. Altissimo is easy. Intonation is also great. It looks amazing too. I wish Yamaha used this lacquer on all its horns! These are over $7299 new, and this one is in excellent condition and lightly played, well cared for, and pro-owned. It’s hard to beat!
