Good but lacks somethig
I'm a professional player.
Tried this one because It is known to have the most focused and weighted tone in the yamaha range.
The saxophone is very well built and deliver a solid centered tone but from my point of view it lacks some kind of personality and it's anyway still very bright.
For the rest it has very good mechanism and a response that is quite linear but not direct and easy as other yamaha saxes. this is not necessarily a cons, maybe it has to be played a little more to be understood.
I think this is because of some resistance put in place by the E1 neck... well suited for classical and maybe bright pop and r&b sax sound.. I wouldn't raccomand it if one wishes to develop a very personal tone. Anyway a very good pro horn.
