Up for sale is this Yamaha YTS-62II tenor saxophone. This is a well-regarded professional model known for its reliability, rich tone, and excellent build quality, and this particular example is in overall near-mint condition. It has been professionally serviced and is fully ready to play right out of the case, with everything in excellent working order and no setup required.

Visually, the horn still shines bright and looks impressive under the lights. There are a few normal scratches and scuffs that come with regular use over time, along with a couple of small dings—one on the bell and one on the backside. These are hardly noticeable and have no impact on the sound or playability whatsoever. There’s also some light scratching on the neck right behind the cork, which is common and minor. Beyond those typical signs of use, the saxophone remains very close to mint condition and presents beautifully overall.

What really makes this horn special is how it plays. The pads have a very tight seal, which provides outstanding response, even intonation, and effortless control across the entire range—from the low Bb all the way up through the altissimo. The spring action is extra fast and snappy, giving the keys a light, quick, and precise feel that’s perfect for technical passages, rapid articulation, or just that responsive feedback every player appreciates during long sessions. It’s a joy to play, with smooth action that supports both delicate dynamics and powerful projection.

The tone is absolutely incredible—rich, warm, and versatile with that signature Yamaha depth and projection. It has a centered, focused sound that sings beautifully in the upper register while delivering a solid, full-bodied low end. This sax excels in any musical setting, whether you’re performing in a big band, jazz combo, studio work, or just practicing at home. It’s the kind of horn that inspires you every time you pick it up and responds exactly as you want it to.

This tenor comes with a fresh new box of Van Doren reeds to get you playing right away, and the original case is in great condition too—sturdy, clean, and fully protective with smooth zippers and no major wear.

Overall, this is a beautiful, high-performing Yamaha YTS-62II that’s been well maintained and is ready for its next player. It’s a fantastic opportunity to own a near-mint professional tenor that looks great, feels great, and sounds even better. Feel free to reach out with any questions, or if you’d like additional photos of the horn being played—I’m happy to provide more details!
