I'm buying my first tenor (play alto at the mo) and am not sure whether to spend the extra and get a yts-65 or go for the yts-275, another opinions would be appreciated
Thanks for this comparison - most useful. The Conn 10M does it for me with this style of music, it has more character and depth ..... basically more soul. However, I would like to own both horns, as I expect that the brighter/purer sound of the YTS 62 would serve very well when playing other musical styles.
Man, you've got a great tone! They both sound great, different sounds for sure. It's hard to say which I like better, just different.
Are you familiar with Kohlert horns (the vintage german ones, not the modern Czech ones)? If you like the 10M, you should DEFINITELY check them out! I have a Yamaha Custom Z and a Kohlert 55, and I love them both....great sounds on both, just different.
@ca4Gochops u`re a great player. what would you say about the machanics of the Conn, is that a lot more inconvinient than Yamaha`s, or that the thing you don`t really mention, especially if playin` some faster bebop? have u tried different 10m, are they all playin` in tune? thanks.
Sounds good. I can't wait to hear how that conn sounds after you get it touched up. Even with needing a pad job and a full set up it's just got a much bigger and richer sound than your Yamaha. You made a good buy with that one. Keep up the good playing.
love that buttery bop! It would have been interesting to have a loud clip on both horns, and I imagine this would bring out more of the differences in character between the horns. Nice playing!
I do not like Conns too much, and have owned for long a YTS 62 purple logo, but in this video there is no comparison. However, you would be astonished in seeing how much an unlacquered cheevr would do to the yamaha 62...very close to the present YTS z UL much richer in tone
Nice comparing..I've got the same saxophones and they are both very good horns. I think, the conn has a little bit more color in the tune.....your playing is great.The player makes the sound!
@Saxolinaful thanks! I have lately been wondering if the conn gives the focus key action that needed for all styles. was listening to some lenny pickett! the yamaha is more VI like, but lacks resonance and color of a selmer, let alone a booming conn. but the conn was affordable.....
This is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Two completely different horns. If you have a good VI tenor to compare to the 62, that would more apples x 2, since the original 62 was designed as a sort VI "copy". You might as well be comparing a VI to the Conn in this vid. Anyhow, sound good..I enjoy your playing..lots o' soul
i like the conn a little better has a more vintage sound

Very nice playing, i preferred the sound of the Conn for this style. I have a YTS-61 which I think is a bit less bright sounding than the 62.

Great sounds and playing. The Yamaha is beautiful but to me
the Conn wins hands down. But hey I am a Connvert so who am I to tell.
