WHICH SAX SHOULD I GET HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!

I've been play for almost six years now on a yamaha YAS-23. Wich isn't a bad horn at all. But I', looking for a professional horn but don't know which one to pic. I'm looking for a top yamaha like 875EX or 82Z. I play classical and thats about it. I've heard that the 82Z are kinda ment for a jazz player and that the 875EX is more for a classical player. SO PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Why Yamaha? Look into a used Selmer Super Action 80 Series 2 (II). They run around $1,500 - $2,000 used. $3,500 - $5,000 new.

      Buy the one that feels the most comfortable and sounds the best to you. If you're used a Yamaha, I would definately look at the YAS or YTS 62. They're a lot of sax for the money. You can't go wrong with Yamaha. Why spend $1,500-$2,000 for a Used Selmer Super Action 80 series II when you can buy a BRAND NEW YAS 62 for under $2,000? The Yamaha 62 is a MUCH better horn than the Selmer Super Action!
