Yamaha YAS480 Alto Saxophone

The Yamaha YAS-480 saxophones are a step ahead. With a little bit more resistance, they have an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility due to the separated key guards.

Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent as you would expect from Yamaha.

The 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.

Key Features:

• Hand Engraving: A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class.
• Compatible with Custom Yamaha Necks: The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).
• Neck: The 62-style neck has been designed for improved tone and response.
• Key guard: The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
• Left-hand seesaw key: The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.
