This new, advanced system, consists of speaker unit, enclosure, acoustic pipe and a real brass bell, responds to your breath from the mouthpiece, and digitally creates sound that drives the speaker, causing the brass bell to resonate and vibrate. In fact, the entire instrument resonates with the sound, and that vibration comes back to you—to your mouth from the mouthpiece and to your fingertips from the keys. The result is an instrument that breathes, moves and vibrates along with your playing, giving you all the expressive feeling of an acoustic saxophone with the comprehensive capabilities of a digital instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOUTHPIECE\u003cbr\u003eIn order to enable the most naturally expressive and comfortable playability, the YDS-152 features a mouthpiece designed the same as that of an acoustic saxophone.

Drawing on our extensive know-how and experience of making acoustic instruments, we designed this bell to gorgeously reproduce the long reverberation peculiar to wind instruments as well as the delicate sonic nuances sounds when playing pianissimo. Moreover, the authentic resonance causes the entire instrument to vibrate, and lets you truly feel the music as you play it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBREATH SENSOR\u003cbr\u003eThe breath sensor detects the strength (pressure) of your breath, allowing you to control not only the strength, but also the tone of your sound as you play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFULL-SCALE SAMPLING\u003cbr\u003eWe teamed up with professional performers to sample the sounds of Yamaha acoustic saxophones—soprano, alto, tenor and baritone—meticulously recorded in whole tones, so that you can enjoy a natural sound without any hint of incongruity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAXOPHONE TONE IN 4 TYPES, 56 PRESETS\u003cbr\u003eIncludes 56 different voices for the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, to handle a variety of genres and styles.
