Our staff do prefer to talk to the sax player regarding the importance of proper care and how to get the most out of their new Yamaha saxophone.
The intermediate level Yamaha Alto saxophone offers any sax player the best playability, tone and intonation. There is no reason why you could not play the YAS480 Alto sax on a professional level. if want more than just a start out sax and demand more the just the basics, this instrument is well worth your consideration.
Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent, just as you would expect from Yamaha.
Based on the popular YAS-475 the new YAS-480 saxophones feature an improved low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system (from the 62 Series) facilitates the use of custom necks.
