Acoustic Annealing
Yamaha uses this heat-treatment process to pursue quicker, more even response and improved resonance.

Independent shopping perspective
Yamaha’s YAS-875EXII Custom EX is a lacquered alto saxophone built around response, resonance, and a more comfortable playing position. Its redesigned keywork is intended to keep hand placement comfortable while supporting fast action. Yamaha pairs acoustic annealing with post-to-rib construction, then revises the lower bow and tone-hole layout for a more responsive, warmer low register. Resized tone holes aim for greater consistency of intonation and response through the range. The hand-engraved lily bell gives the instrument a distinct visual finish.
