great mid-range value tenor sax
great value , forget those 2500-6000 , this is all you need.
I spent a long time reviewing, reviews, youtube videos, etc... I previously used a selmer paris SA80 black finish, then a Bauhaus Walstein TS pro silver;
The current pricing for tenors of the same caliber is just crazy in euros, rip-off city, hence my caution at just buying another of the same 2 brands or similar, after seeing the pricing at 3-6k euros.
In the end after seeing several video reviews and deciding I was not going to settle for an expensive student model, I really wanted to stay mid range.
While not the quickest usually at dispatching Thomann this time around did manage to do so by 20-24 hours after sending SEPA transfer.
It was the DHL transport time that killed me, I just really wanted it fast, lol, could not wait.
The YTS62 MK II key mechanism feels great, and very responsive, no sticking or delays.... note: dont forget to lookfor all the shippping cork wedges , theres a few hidden around the back I did not see at first look ,lol.
The included mouthpiece is actually pretty decent, though I also switch back to my selmer C* and tested with both using my B&G ligature and no.3 reeds.
I also have a vandoren metal mouthpiece on the way I hope to try out.
Cons : I think my main and only gripe has to be the case. There is a convex swelling of it in the direction of the outter case-longh zipped pouch area, which results in reduced capacity.
For the value of it too their should be better branded and quality reeds included, but thats just me .
Overall after having only one full band rehearsal with it, playing a wide variety of music types that night, the response was great.
I would recommend this to any for :
1.student concert band /marching band
2. student for 2 years and continuing
3. for those with the mid-high range sax, this is a great value backup
4. cheaper alternative to a selmer paris SA80 ( i do miss mine) :)
Kind Regards

Poor factory adjustment
I had to adjust one flap and one spring, after that without problems

I' m really happy with my product
I'm a semi pro sax player, all my life had a bad instrument. After I've decided to buy a new sax I searched for best I could get under 3,5k. I checked a lot of different instruments but decided to buy Yamaha. I'm really happy with my purchase, the mechanisim is awesome as well as the sound it can produce. Recommending.
