Yamaha YAS-280

Standard

Yamaha standard saxophones make fantastic first rental instruments for beginning band students. Designed to exacting tolerances, with the beginner in mind, Yamaha standard saxophones offer unrivaled playing comfort and durability to help develop positive habits, and provide long-lasting quality.

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.

Based on the highly recommended YAS/YTS-275 saxophones the new YAS/YTS-280 are even further enhanced with a new, more stable neck receiver and a new low B-C# connection for better adjustment.
