Functions
An evolved flagship model with stress-free key work and low-register playability,
the Custom EX gives the performer full expressive freedom.
The new Custom EX alto saxophone has had a complete overhaul of the key layout.
Changes to the front F key shape and mechanism, a position change of the left-hand palm keys,
left-hand table keys, right-hand side keys and right-hand pinky keys offers a smoother playing
experience giving players more confidence when performing.
With the new, more ergonomic key layout design, the new Custom EX gives players unrivalled
comfort and makes hand adjustment easy and almost stress free.
Yamaha have optimised the tonehole sizes and positions which has meant that the intonation on the new
instrument is better than ever!
The new Custom EX saxophone features a new ‘lily’ engraving design which is hand engraved
on every instrument.
The new Custom EX saxophone is complemented by Yamaha’s re-designed Custom ebonite mouthpiece.
The baffle, chamber, and other areas of internal design have been re-designed for greater projection as well
as soft, beautiful tonality. The shape of the tip has been modified for increased comfort and easier
embouchure control.
The semi-hard rucksack style case supplied with the new Custom EX is made from a stylish durable
material and features a special Custom EX badge.
