The Yamaha 62 series is already a legend and enjoys the respect and admiration of many musicians of all styles for its reliable performance and sound quality. It owes its success to a group of visionary specialist designers and highly skilled craftsmen who do their work with an extraordinary level of devotion, perfection and passion.
This new model in Yamaha's Professional Series is an improved version of the old classic 62, which revolutionized the saxophone market. It can be used for any musical style, from Classic to Jazz, Pop, Rock, Blues... In addition, it is characterized by an extremely expressive tone, with a great comfort during the interpretation and a very precise tuning. One of the most important advances of the Yamaha YTS-62 is undoubtedly the 62 Style Neck, which improves the response of the instrument and increases its flexibility during performance. It has a metallic element to join the neck to the body, improving the timbre of the saxophone and adding harmonic richness. Another improvement is the one introduced in the B /C# mechanism. Also, the body of the instrument has been completely tempered to produce an intense and resonant sound.

Yamaha's founder, Torakusu Yamaha, an entrepreneur of his time, reflected the technological awakening and openness to the world that Japan experienced with the change of century in business development.
Raised in what is now Wakayama Prefecture, Yamaha received an unusual education for his time from his father, a samurai surveyor with interests in astronomy and mechanics, who had an extraordinary library in his home.
His early jobs included repairing clocks, medical and surgical equipment. Due to the isolation of his area, a city school asked him in 1887 to repair the Mason & Hamlin pipe organ, manufactured in the U.S. He was very fast to notice the the potential bussines of the musical instrument industry in Japan, and Yamaha produced its own version of the organ within a year and then established a new business in Hamasatsu to manufacture organs for Japanese elementary schools.
Western musical traditions attracted the interest of the Japanese government, which encouraged and addressed the growing enthusiasm for their culture. While Yamaha's technical education enabled him to manufacture a product, the government's investment in infrastructure allowed him to set up a business. To make the organ, Yamaha used modern methods of mass production and by 1889 employed 100 people and produced 250 organs per year.
During the 1890s, the upright piano surpassed the pipe organ in popularity in U.S. homes (lower cost) and Yamaha quickly saw the potential of this market. Expansion into pianos required more research, so the Japanese Ministry of Education sponsored a Yamaha tour for the United States in 1899. He studied the manufacture of pianos and established the relationship with suppliers of the materials needed to produce pianos in Japan. Within a year he produced his first piano. Government and institutional orders were the first to be delivered, including some units for the Ministry of Education. In 1902, using American materials and German technology, Nippon Gakki (Yamaha´s company name at the time) presented his first grand piano.
The Yamaha emblem: a set of three fretboards used to tune musical instruments, dates from 1898 and has been the image of their logos. These three fretboards have a particular meaning for each of the products of this great corporation. In the area of musical instruments they mean the three essential elements of music: melody, harmony and rhythm.
The entrepreneurial spirit of Yamaha continued without rest, and despite the death of its founder, the company continued to expand until today, being well known its incredible diversification: band and orchestra instruments, guitars, drums, electric keyboards and pianos, motors, electronics, motorcycles, boats... becoming one of the biggest companies worldwide. And everything started with a young man who repaired watches...
