The Yamaha 52 alto is one of the best deals among modern alto saxophones. It does pretty much everything well, and it plays like a purple logo Yamaha 62 alto, but costs half as much. This one just got a complete setup with lots of new pads, complete disassembly, cleaning, new oil, new adjustment materials – nearly an overhaul. It plays effortlessly and sounds great with a warm, medium tone between bright and dark. For the price of a student alto, you get what is nearly a pro model. Only one available!
