Description
A great sax for advancing students
A step up from the class-leading YTS-280, the YTS-480 has some small but significant design upgrades that gives 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 free-blowing response make 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.

Review
It was great to find the latest Yamaha "intermediate" sax has received a neck upgrade to the excellent 62 models and is even compatible with the Yamaha Custom necks. Further improvements to the key work make this a sax that you can live and grow with. Phill Straker - SAX
