Sounds great!....👍🏽one of the very best demonstrations of the horn on utube ! I’m stuck between an 82z soprano and a yanagisawa!!! I ruled out selmer serie 3 because I swore to never buy a detachable neck soprano! My question is, what made you decide on an 82z soprano and to you find the sound flexible enough to play different styles? Any input would be greatly appreciated
hi jazz marcel, thank you for your kind words. I never got the opportunity to try a Yanigisawa, so I really can't say if it was better or not... Really, when I tried the 82z, I was so into it I didn't even think about checking anything else out. 3 years later and I cam still so happy with it and I still love it just as much. It got better after I broke it in. What made me buy it: It's so in tune with itself. So if you tune the horn in the middle of the instrument, like on an f# or a G or whatever, the whole thing will be in tune. It's amazing. Also the sound, I compared a lot of Yamaha 62's to the 82Z, that was my main focus. I found that the 82z just had this depth and openness that the 62 didn't have. The 62 was great too, but narrower and not as elegant sounding. The 82z is more spread and just sounds more like a saxophone. The ergonomics are incredible. It feels like the instrument was made to fit into your hands. The palm keys are especially amazingly placed. I can't really imagine playing another soprano after finding this one. As far as different styles go; To me it feels like it could do anything. I don't see any reason you couldn't play one particular style of music over another one it. Thanks!
This is what a Sop is suppose to sound like.........
