Yamaha 475 to 855 upgrade?
So I've been playing sax for 6 years now and I'm getting very serious about it, playing in a big band, and modern worship music with my Church band. I have been playing a Yamaha 475 Alto (Made in Japan), and I find that it plays extremely well. However, I'm interested in a Custom 855 from a local seller, and I'm wondering what others think about the horn, and if it is much better then my 475. I have read a lot of articles about student/ intermediate models playing just as good, or in some cases, even better than the "top of the line" horns. Any feedback would be much appreciated about the difference people find between intermediate and custom models. Thanks!
