Had this saxophone for about 4 years. It's brilliant

John Park was one of the jazz musicians who helped design the Yamaha 62. John was a world class player, and played lead alto with Stan Kenton in the 70s! He was a special player, as well as a great friend and mentor! He kept me notified while the 62 was in development, and I wasn't disappointed when I played it! The soprano is an unbelievable instrument! I now play a 62iii with the silver finish! I've always mostly maintained that a Mark VI is still the horn for classical players. However, after hearing a few Yamaha alto saxes with Vandoren mouthpieces, I've changed my mind!

The 62 is amazing and I can't recommend it enough... I've been playing it for about 4 years and absolutely love it ❤️

This or AWO1. I cannot decide!

Using the same mouthpiece setup, Simon played the Yanagisawa AWO1 and this Yamaha YAS62. AW01 does not sound to be as versatile, and it sounds much brighter. I'd say YAS62 has a better-defined core sound (perhaps thanks to its robustness?). Dawkes, your thoughts on this?

@dawkesmusic 4 жыл бұрын

It's quite a subjective one for us - we think the AWO1 is pretty versatile but perhaps the YAS-62 is even more so. Don't forget that Simon plays Yamaha though so he automatically feels very comfortable on them and that perhaps can come across in the sound. It's like comparing a BMW and Audi...you can't go wrong with either but certain people will have their favourite.

Zvonimir Tosic while the 62 is great (I own one) it is not as good as the Yanagisawa. Sound is subjective but the Yani is a better horn.

Excellent review as always and really love your channel. I was wondering what you thought about the pmauriat horns especially the system 76 dark lacquer alto?

@dawkesmusic 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment and for watching the channel! There are a range of brands/models out there but it's not possible for us to stock them all, primarily because certain brands don't get passed our QC processes. We try to offer the premium options (in terms of quality of build, intonation, support etc) at each price point.

Thanks for sharing it. Could you please let me know the differences between YAS-62 iii and YAS-62 04? Someone says 04 replaces iii; others say they are exactly the same but iii is for US market while 04 is for European market. Confused :-(

@dawkesmusic 3 жыл бұрын

Haha! If you asked 3 people at Yamaha you'd get 3 different answers! All we can confirm is that the 62 04 is the current EU version and that's what we sell: www.dawkes.co.uk/yamaha-yas-62-alto-saxophone-saxophone/16200

Hi Whats the difference between the silver one ? Thank you

I have a Jumbo Java A45 and Otto Link Tone Edge 6* mouthpiece. Do you think both of these mouthpieces would work well with this saxophone?

@dawkesmusic 2 жыл бұрын

Sure, both can work nicely. They're quite different mouthpieces though, the Java will be more 'lively' whereas the Link should offer a 'warmer' or softer tone in comparison. Just depends what you prefer :)

@crashbangwhallopwhatavideo 3 жыл бұрын

Hi folks, got mine due in no small part, to your analysis here. Would an a45 jumbo java vandoren be a decent mouthpiece on this horn?

@dawkesmusic 3 жыл бұрын

It would be quite lively (bright) but LOTS of fun on the YAS-62. Depends what you're looking for. It won't be subtle but if you want pop/rock/funk brightness and projection then the A45 JJ would be great :)

@@dawkesmusic exactly what I was hoping you'd say. My dad loves the sax solo from Hazel O'Connor's "Will You" so I think this will be ideal to blast it out a bit more :) thanks for the reply!
