Yamaha YTS480 intermediate Bb tenor saxophone outfit - Gold lacquer

Introducing the Yamaha YTS480 intermediate Bb tenor saxophone

The YTS480 is a level above Yamaha's student 280 saxophone and its tonal quality is comparable to much higher-end models. Its main feature is a '62 style' neck which has a slightly narrower bore for improved response and greater control over the sound.

Furthermore, thanks to the redesigned octave key system, the option is there for advanced players to switch between the 62 neck (included) and a 'Custom Z' or 'CustomEX' neck (sold separately - please call for price & availability).

Elegant design with fantastic playability

The intonation on the 480 is outstandingly accurate as with all Yamaha instruments and famously so. What we particularly like about this model is that it is comparatively lightweight and durable, making it ideal for use in the school environment and a great option for young players or travelling professionals. Constructed using yellow brass, finished with a clear lacquer, dotted with pearly white polyester keys, and featuring a hand engraved design on the bell, this instrument looks smart and elegant.

The 62-style neck provides optimum tone and the bell rings support the instrument to vibrate well when players blow into it. The improved B-C# connection ensures the keys are sealed properly and the lower register responds well. The separate key guards with adjustable screw cap toppers and left-hand seesaw key makes playing this instrument much easier.
