Yamaha YTS 280 Tenor Saxophone

The Yamaha YTS280 will give you the best possible start on the tenor saxophone. As expected from Yamaha, the intonation is perfect, and it is easy to get a great sound. The neck on the YTS280 has been re-designed so that it gives more strength to the mechanism and therefore making it more durable.

An improved mechanism for the B-C# ensures a good seal on the C# key and a better, clearer response. The re-design to the thumb rest means it is now adjustable in order to accommodate most hand sizes. This would therefore be a big advantage to students who are wanting to develop their technique and adjust the thumb rest as the player matures.

Gold Lacquer

The Yamaha YTS280 is finished in a highly alluring gold lacquer. The lacquer is used to produce a warmer, darker sound as well as its hard wearing and sustainability properties. The shine of the gold lacquer offers a high-end look and provides confidence in the saxophone.

Included Accessories

Included with the Yamaha YTS280 tenor saxophone is a lightweight moulded case. This case offers tough protection for your instrument to ensure it stays in the best possible condition. The case also includes a shoulder strap and backpack straps for easy transportation between musical events.

The facing of the included 4C mouthpiece is slightly shorter than that of the Custom series making it easier to play. This is essential for beginning students to achieve a rich saxophone sound. They also are available in a variety of sizes, to suit the needs players of many different styles.
