The ZO ZAS-2000 Alto Saxophone is an intermediate-level alto saxophone in ZO's professional-style saxophone lineup. The three ZO alto saxophones are designed for three different levels of players. While they all share the same basic body design (Eb alto, High F# key, lacquer finish, and included mouthpiece), each model steps up in materials, workmanship, and performance. Here are the differences between the ZAS-1000, ZAS-2000 and ZAS-3000 saxophone. Quality of components, the engraving, the case,

The tone is similar to the zas-1000 because both instruments share the same basic bore design, but the improved keywork and pads on the ZAS-2000 make it feel more responsive.
The ZAS-2000 adds several upgrades that make it a better long-term instrument:
✓ Blue steel needle springs for quicker, smoother key action
✓ Higher-grade pads that generally seal better and last longer
✓ Hand-engraved bell
✓ Improved canvas case
✓ Better overall fit and finish from the factory
