General

Designed for both beginners and more advanced saxophonists, the Yamaha YAS-280 alto saxophone displays Yamaha innovation and high-precision craft. The iconic 62 body shape supports clearer note definition and lively sound and also bears surprisingly light playability. Two pieces of brass plating have been expertly joined to form the resonant bell and, this process, coupled with precision machining results in an unparalleled richness of tone that's packed with clarity and depth. Yamaha ASC-200EII semi-hard case included.

The Yamaha YAS-280S: Effortless Playability

Redesigned for the busy saxophonist, the Yamaha YAS-280S alto sax now features a reinforced neck joint finished with durable screws, which doesn't just help extend the lifespan of the instrument, but promotes a fast and smooth response and a near-effortless playing feel. The low B to C# key mechanisms have also been improved to guarantee that the C# key closes more consistently to increase note clarity in the lower registers. The standard key rods have also been designed to reduce resistance and ensure supple transitions and clean sound production, while the ergonomic key layout slots seamlessly into the natural contours of your hands, leaving you free to concentrate on playing.

Yamaha BYAS280 Eb Alto Saxophone with Semi-hard Case

Wrote the following about Yamaha BYAS280 Eb Alto Saxophone with Semi-hard Case
Na vele jaren niet meer te hebben gespeeld op een saxofoon, stond de aanschaf van een eerste eigen “sax” hoog op het lijstje. Lang heb ik gezocht naar het juiste merk en type om weer aan de slag te gaan. De vele positieve reviews over de Yamaha YAS280 als excellent beginners-instrument, waar ook de gevorderde nog lekker op kan spelen, hebben me overtuigd. Okee, merk en type waren gekozen maar waar ga ik dan bestellen? BAX had eind 2025 een leuke aanbieding en als one-stop-shop konden ze ook alle accessoires direct meeleveren. Door de Feestdagen-drukte heb ik wel even op de levering moeten wachten, maar daardoor werd het enthousiasme alleen maar groter. Inmiddels ben ik sinds een maand weer begonnen - het klinkt nu al gaaf en voelt goed en robuust gebouwd aan. Even warm spelen en gas erop, net als vroeger maar dan toch lekker anders! 👌

Onze dochter keek uit naar haar saxofoon. Ze speelt al 10 jaar piano dus heeft een muzikale basis.
Dit toestel heeft een goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
Mooi instrument, stevige draagtas. Bevat nodige toebehoren om onmiddellijk aan de slag te kunnen.
We missen enkel nog de oordoppen (tijdens de eerste oefensessies) ;-)

De Yamaha YAS-280 is een uitstekende altsaxofoon voor beginners en gevorderden, met een soepele bespeelbaarheid en een helder geluid. De bouwkwaliteit en ergonomie maken het een duurzame en comfortabele keuze.
