Eugene Rousseau (1932 - 2024)

Dr. Eugene Rousseau, born on August 23, 1932, made monumental contributions to saxophone artistry and music education. His legacy includes not only his exceptional performances but also his influence as a world-class educator, shaping the future of many talented artists.

Since 1972, Dr. Rousseau’s collaboration with Yamaha has been instrumental in the development of our saxophones. His expertise was crucial in developing the Yamaha 62 Saxophone Series, a model cherished by saxophonists worldwide. His insights and innovations were pivotal in crafting an instrument that continues to inspire musicians everywhere.
