Description
A solid student saxophone by Yamaha, silver-plated
The Yamaha YTS280 is generally regarded as one of the best student horns on the market. For getting started and even as a budget horn for a more advanced player- these are an ideal choice.
Description
The YTS280s is a sax that stands out from the pack when it comes to student horns- with its smooth key work, easy blowing character, and overall responsiveness. Add to that the Yamaha 4C mouthpiece included as standard, rugged build quality, very good case, and the fact they hold their value exceptionally well.
The Beauty of Silver Plating
The gradual formation of patina on silver-plated saxophones imparts an exceptional charm and character to the instrument. It's a captivating visual transformation that resonates with many musicians, as the saxophone evolves and matures with the passage of time.
It is important to acknowledge that although silver polish cloths are available, the natural process of tarnishing cannot be completely halted.
Within just a few days, you will start to witness the beginning of this transformation. It's worth noting that many instruments we receive from the factory have already embarked on this natural journey.

Review
The YAS 280S is widely regarded as one of the best student sax in the World. As with most student saxes the tone is on the light and bright side - there has to be a reason to buy the more expensive models. Along with many Yamaha endorsees, I find the silver plating does add some extra "star quality. Phill Straker - SAX
