Product information

Product no: 9000-0123-0284

General

Designed for both beginners and more advanced saxophonists, the Yamaha YAS-280S alto saxophone is 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.

Bax Music Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty.
