The Yamaha YAS-480 alto saxophone features highly accurate intonation, warm tone, and quick response. It is light yet durable and includes a professional-quality 62-style neck for a better sound.
The redesigned octave key system on the YAS480 alto lets you choose between the included 62-style neck and those designed for Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately). The new 62-style neck improves tone and response.
As all saxophonists know, the left hand pinky finger can get a good workout on the spatula keys without much effort. That's one reason why the left-hand seesaw key on the YAS480 alto has been designed to increase playability and provide a more comfortable feel.
To promote a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument, Yamaha improved the mechanism from low B-C# to ensure the consistent closing of the low C# key. As an added benefit, the separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
To complete the package, an engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class. If you want a professional alto saxophone at an intermediate price, give the Yamaha YAS-480 serious consideration.
Yamaha saxophones have a long, successful history with players of all styles, from professional artists to students and music educators. Known for their resonance and ease of play, Yamaha saxophones satisfy even the most discerning saxophonists. Yamaha’s commitment to providing the most complete lineup and broadest range of saxophones is evident in their attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.
