• Legere reed special price sale!

  

  2020/11/13

  We will hold a sale with special prices for some products from the popular plastic reed brand, "Legere"!
  Developed to solve the reed problems faced by many woodwind players, Legere Reeds are made of a new material that has almost the same vibration characteristics as natural cane. Thoroughly researched, from cut angle, stiffness, vibration ratio, to surface finish and stability against effects from humidity and temperature, and so on, Legere has realized a feeling of blowing and tone that is more comfortable than natural cane.
  They are washable, and there's no reason to moisten the reed before playing!

• YAMAHA Digital Sax YDS-150 release announced

  

  2020/10/30

  ■YAMAHA「YDS-150」
  
  On November 20, YAMAHA will release a new type of digital saxophone, the YDS-150. The mouthpiece, reed, and ligature are the same type as the alto saxophone, making them easy for anyone to play and handle. Since the key arrangement is as close as possible to the saxophone, experienced wind instrument players will be able to play smoothly. Of particular note is Yamaha's unique bell-integrated acoustic sound system. Sound and vibration are transmitted from the digital unit to a yellow brass bell like that of a soprano saxophone, and the entire instrument resonates. Since the vibration of the instrument is transmitted to the keys and mouthpiece, you can have the feeling of playing a raw saxophone. Of course, it is possible to change the volume and tone according to breath pressure. With 15-step adjustment of the basic volume and headphones out, you can easily play at any time and place. In addition to 56 types of saxophone sounds, 17 types of digital sound sources are also included. If you install the dedicated app on your smartphone or tablet, you can make detailed settings such as tones, effects, and fingering via a Bluetooth connection. Please try out this popular digital saxophone during self-isolation.
