Yamaha 82Z Alto – What a Horn!

Played two of these recently and have been reminded of what a fantastic alto they are! One sold as an upgrade from a Selmer mark VI alto we now have for sale. https://www.vanguardorchestral.co.nz/product/selmer-mark-vi-alto-saxophone/ The other was a full service. These play amazing and are great value at $6995!

In addition to custom designing and commissioning fine musical instruments, we can also help you design the perfect case to protect and transport your musical instruments.

This Wiseman Case was designed to accommodate a commissioned Nagahara Full Concert Flute and Bass Flute!

Custom designed and commissioned, this Nagahara Full Concert sports solid silver body, posts, ribs, key work, and tone holes, paired with a 14k gold head joint and lip plate with platinum riser. It also features a C # trill, split E, B-foot, and D # roller.

Its unique scale results in an elongated head joint and slightly shorted body, which is apparent when comparing it side to side with any other flute, or when looking at it sitting in its case.

While it took a little while to wrap our head around the scale, the learning curve and adaptation to this beautiful instrument was quick! It plays beautifully, evenly throughout its entire range, and packs a powerful punch in dynamic versatility.
