Re: Need advice on buying older Yamaha

I can't speak for the model 62, but in NZ a number of pro players played the 82 Custom (next model up from the 62), and I went through undergrad and my first pro gigs playing a Yamaha 82-11 Custom. This played quite differently from the 82- less resistant, and with slightly better intonation (compared to the 82). In the USA I was told by Yamaha that the 82-11 was the same as the instrument sold in USA (not available elsewhere) as the YCL-72, but I played several of those instruments and while I liked them, didn't feel they were very similar to my 82-11.
Glad that you ended up with a good clarinet, while I'm a Buffet player now I played Yamaha for many years (including several concerto performances) and found them to be very reliable and well designed instruments.
