I'm making a trip to my tech this weekend, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
I recently picked up a YTS-82ZUL w/o F#, I love just about everything the horn offers and the tone is incredible. My problem is that the horn wants to play sharp, especially up top. This is a 2005 horn and came after the neck problems were supposedly resolved (Yamaha says the problem was on the alto anyway).
Now, I haven't played much tenor since College, but I can play my wife's Series II without this problem. I'm still adjusting to the horn, but to get the upper register even close my mouthpiece (Jody Jazz HR) can't be more than .25 inches on the neck... Maybe I just need to play some longtones and get my tenor chops back, but this just doesn't seem right.
Anyway, I'm going to have my tech measure key heights and troubleshoot the horn. I can't detect any leaks, it seems to play flawlessly except for the sharpness....
Anyone else run into this on their Z tenor? hope I can get it figured out because I LOVE the horn!
