The Custom EX represents one answer to Yamaha’s pursuit of the ideal saxophone sound and is the result of decades of painstaking research and trials with some of the world’s greatest saxophonists.

The EX also provides great flexibility with a wide dynamic range, and stunning projection that fills the hall with an authoritative tone.
