Saxophone YAS

The YAS/YTS-280 saxophones offer a perfect start because they are designed with the young beginner in mind. Relatively light-weight and ergonomically shaped, they are easy to hold and to play. The intonation is perfect, as you would expect from Yamaha, and it is easy to get a great sound. The Yamaha design offers beginners optimum support, thus greatly assisting both learning progress and creativity.

With a design influenced by high-end Yamaha saxophones, the YAS-480 features highly accurate intonation, a warm tone and a quick response. It is lightweight yet durable, and comes with a professional-quality 62-style neck for a more mature quality of sound.

This has to be one of the most exciting things to happen to the sax world in modern times. Finally a modern sax that actually captures the sound and feel of those treasured classic saxes of the past – while adding state-of-the-art intonation and mechanism. Based on the scale of the classic ’62’ models, the new Custom Z saxes have bodies that are made of a special brass alloy for lighter weight, a great playing ‘feel’, and the kind of tonal flexibility you’ve always dreamed of. The Z plays evenly in all ranges, and gives you a huge dynamic range for as much – or as little – sound as you want. The Custom G1 neck helps produce a quick and agile response, while key action and placement feel just right. You can create whatever style tone you’re after, from vintage to contemporary, and there’s no need to sacriface comfort for sound. These horns literally ‘have it all’.
