This process, combined with precise machining, results in a bell that radiates clarity and depth. Transport is made easy by the ASC-200EII semi-hard case, with both contemporary style and enhanced portability, keeping your Yamaha wind instrument protected everywhere.

Improved mechanisms from low B to C# ensure consistent closure of the low C# key, allowing clear, accurate notes in the lower register. The ergonomically designed key layout seamlessly matches the natural contours of the human hand, allowing saxophonists to concentrate on playing without any discomfort.
