Hi all,
I'm new to the site, but I've been reading posts and topic discussions for years now. I'm a long time Selmer player (I understand that might not be the best way to open a thread on a Yamaha board, but please, hear me out
) Recently I got a chance to play test some of the Yamaha 82 Z alto's and I'm completely blown away by many things about this particular horn.
My questions are these;
What have others experience either owning, or simply playing their Z's?
What finish has been the most successful for jazz playing (I played the U. and loved it)
and finally, How many people have kept the stock pads/setup that came with the horn, or did you opt for a different set ie: Saxgourmet pads w/ Noyek reso's
or another setup.
I'd be curious to hear as much about the horn as possible before purchasing one. On that note, where's the best place to buy one? (assuming setting up the horn and making it playable are part of the price).
Thanks for everyone's help and input in advance.
