How I've always felt about these three brands was that Yamaha and Yanagisawa are perfect machines. They are in tune and do everything that you need them to do. Selmers on the other hand are like a living organism, they are each unique and have their own personality. Not everyone is going to like every Selmer, and not everyone is going to like their Selmer everyday, but like a relationship with another living being, its worth it to work through the rough patches so that your relationship can grow in ways previously unimaginable.

Having both of you in the video is a great format for a comparison.

I owned Selmer Mark 6 and series 2 altos but I recently got the Yanagisawa aw01 elite model. Both Selmers were great horns. I think that the Yanagisawa that I own now plays more in tune and is more of a players horn. I fell like I can get more juice out of it too. All excellent horns btw. If I were to ever own a Selmer again I would love to get my hands on the Selmer series 2 Dragon Bird.

I’m sold on Yani. Even after being with my Selmers after decades which were amazing. The Yani felt so good to my hands and the tone was very flexible and gorgeous.

Tha Yamaha YAS-62 sounded a little bit darker than the Yanagisawa. The Selmer sounded the darkest to me. I prefer the Yanagisawa myself. I feel it sounded really clear, but also had a nice depth and fatness to it which gives the sound a little bit more freedom. I would put the Selmer 2nd and Yamaha 3rd.

Interesting comments, from a listener with headphones on, I liked the sound of the Yanagisawa the best. The Yamaha appeared to favour more the pitch bend expression.

When I was thinking about upgrading to a pro alto, these were the first I had in mind. I like the current Yanagisawa's for their top build quality and centred tone, maybe not so much the brightness of the AWO1 (which is why I am going to get an AWO2 for the richer tone) but it sounds like it has the power to cut through if you need it to with centred, bright tone.

Excellent review as always and really love your channel. I was wondering what you thought about the pmauriat horns especially the system 76 dark lacquer alto?

@romih.7945 3 года назад

I love the selmer!

@itstoasty7089 3 года назад

I found the Selmer more vibrant too than the other two

Yamaha 62s are still the most versatile pro horns you can buy, after 42 years of production (40 for the tenor). Yamaha are sensible enough to know its a keeper. Built like tanks too (or at least they used to be).

I heard a Yamaha 875EX Custom with a black lacquered body, and I thought it was a Selmer, which tells me that Selmer puts something in the lacquer, or softens the body, in order to get that sound! It's more noticable with classical players, in my opinion. I've heard pro jazz players on a Yamaha Z that sounded fantastic, and very Mark VI-ish! But, Yamaha saxes are built like tanks, and very sturdy, whereas the Mark VI that I had for years needed adjusting every 6 to 8 months! I'm now playing a Yamaha 62 iii with silver plating, and I've changed my setup to add some overtones to the sound! I might also add that Yamahas are very consistent from the factory! A friend of mine contributed to the design of the Yamaha 62 in the 70s, so I'm probably biased! LOL

I never had any saxophone that speaks or shouts for itself without you making it speak or shout and one day I went to a gig to listen to a visiting band in the end, I asked my fellow musician I came with what did he think about the alto saxophonist, and he said he was amused and amazed by the "shouting like sound" that came out of the saxophone and I asked him what was the make of the saxophone and he said that it was a Yanagisawa. I thought it was of a Yamaha series but he said he went backstage to the saxophonist to ask and that's why he was sure it was a Yani. I never played one but I would like to do my own research. Thanks.
