Description

An extremely well-designed, reliable, and versatile saxophone

The Yamaha YAS480 is Yamaha’s first upgrade from their flagship 280 model. There are a few design upgrades here which, while small, really give this horn an edge.

Description

Like all Yamaha saxes the 480 is an extremely well-designed and hugely playable horn. Its medium to bright tone, together with slick key work and a very freeblowing response makes this a smooth and satisfying instrument to work with; easy enough for a raw beginner but offering enough depth and versatility for the more seasoned user.
