Conceived as a professional instrument available at an affordable price point, the YAS-62 is based on Yamaha's well-known 61 line. The saxophone implements professional elements such as tilting low Bb spatula keys, refined key shape, and annealed brass for denser material and clearer tone.

The second generation featured a professional neck receiver for a more consistent tone.
