Yamaha Band Standard Alto Saxophone - Gold Lacquer
Departments > Band & Orchestral > Woodwind Instruments > Yamaha Band > Standard Alto Saxophone - Gold Lacquer
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.
Features:
-New neck receiver with a durable screw.
A redesigned neck receiver promotes a quick response and ease of play while also increasing the durability of the mechanism.
-Improved Low B-C# connection.
An improved mechanism from low B-C# ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument.
-Adjustable thumb-rest
All Yamaha saxophones feature an adjustable thumb-rest to allow for precise and comfortable hand and fingering position.
Specifications:
Body: Gold lacquer
Finish: Gold lacquer
Key: Auxiliary keys = High F#
Key buttons material: Polyester
Thumb hook: Adjustable
Key: Eb
