Yamaha makes a number of different instruments with different acoustic designs, and therefore, different sound and playing characteristics. So, a generalization about the Yamaha sound is not valid ...
In the United States the Yamaha 650 and Buffet E12F are about the same price. The 650 is brighter, free blowing and centered, more so than the Buffet E12F. Both deserve consideration. Both are well made and a good value in wood instruments. The 450 and 650 are very different playing ...
If you have a way, try the Ridenour Lyrique Libertas, also about the same price ... and a bit better, IMHO, than the Yamaha 450 or 650 or E12F. Warm, responsive, even timbre and great tuning.
