So what I did was use the Yamaha for for Ceremonial Band gigs. It did play nice over the whole range of the horn though. I would have the horn tuned to вЂњAвЂќ concert perfect and the middle вЂњEвЂќ was 40 cents sharp. Also certain notes played extremely sharp, especially middle вЂњEвЂќ top space treble clef. The Yamaha 875 Custom that they gave me had a very bright sound, to bright. Needless to say the horn played rough down low. Unfortunately even though it still had a really nice sound and played in tune well the repair tech at Fleet Support said she would never be able to get it to seal perfectly.

It had been relacquered at least 3 times which included buffing the heck out of it. I had turned in a MK VI Navy tenor that was on itвЂ™s last legs. I was issued a Yamaha 875 Custom Tenor Sax in my Navy Band in Norfolk,VA. Anyone have experience with Yamaha saxophones? You like, dislike, donвЂ™t care, etc? Let us know!
