Description

The wide bore taper of the V1 neck provides a free-blowing feel and the greatest possible flexibility.

The nickel silver custom style neck receiver provides a condensed tone and good response with a high rigidity. It has the flexibility to choose between the necks designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).

The octave key has a unique new ball joint design for smoother, quicker action. The new neck receiver improves the tonal resonance.

Traditional body shape is adopted which makes the sound brighter and playing feel lighter. The material is optimized for custom models.

Key layout is designed to fit to humans’ hands. This helps players concentrate on their performance without feeling stress.

Mother of pearl is used as key buttons. It improves playability by making it easier to hold with soft but not slippery surface.

The metal resonators offer an outstanding response and deliver a wider dynamic range. The entire range of the instrument has a clearer pronunciation, providing effortless playability all around.

Crafsmen shape the bell from a sheet of brass with a hammer. This adds a unity to the body and makes the intonation in middle to lower range smoother. It also has a solid tone.

An improved mechanism from low B-C# connection ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument.
