I went into the store, tried playing the instrument, and bought it straight away. Jean-Yves Formeau

This has to be one of the best saxes ever in terms of design, build quality and tuning, delivering everything you'd expect from Yamaha's flagship model. It oozes quality, feels great to play, sounds great, and sets new standards for reliability. Phill Straker - SAX
