Yamaha Custom Z Tenor

Hello Everyone, I am thinking about picking up a new tenor in the near future and the Custom Z tenor is one that I will consider. Granted, I need to actually try it to see how it works for me. With that in mind, I own a Custom Z alto and it is great. Many people have indicated that the Z alto is the next classic. Could the same be said about the Z tenor? What are your thoughts? Regards, GG

    while I have never played one myself, my teacher owns one after playing through all the major horns for months and he has nothing but good things to say about it

      Re: Yamaha Custom Z Tenor

      My squad leader/lead jazz alto player has a custom Z and i don't know if it's him, but it is the most out of tune, and unbalanced sax i've seen. Playing it compared to my selmer series 3, there was no comparison. A fluke in the instrument? Maybe. User mistake? Maybe. But from my experience I would recommend something else over it.
