Brand New Key Layout

The new Custom EX alto saxophone has had a complete overhaul of the key layout. Changes to the front F key shape and mechanism, a position change of the left-hand palm keys, left-hand table keys, right-hand side keys and right-hand pinky keys offers a smoother playing experience giving players more confidence when performing. With the new, more ergonomic key layout design, the new Custom EX gives players unrivalled comfort and makes hand adjustment easy and almost stress free.

Easy to play in the lower register

During the design process, Yamaha experimented with new methods for producing the bottom bow of the instrument. The diameter of the low C and D toneholes has been reduced and Yamaha’s unique acoustic annealing process has been applied to enhance low note playability making resistance is consistent throughout the instrument’s range.

Outstanding intonation

Yamaha saxophones are renowned for their fantastic intonation and the new Custom EX is no different. Yamaha have optimised the tonehole sizes and positions which has meant that the intonation on the new instrument is better than ever!
