Yamaha YDS-152 Digital Saxophone

The Yamaha YDS-152 brings expressive saxophone playing into everyday life, with authentic brass-bell resonance, more sounds and USB-C connectivity!

Building on the popular YDS-150, the Yamaha YDS-152 digital saxophone combines traditional instrument design with the freedom of digital technology. From quiet evening practice to exploring new musical styles, it gives beginners and experienced saxophonists more opportunities to enjoy playing.

At its heart is Yamaha’s Integrated Bell Acoustic System, which pairs digital sound with the physical resonance of a real brass bell. Add familiar saxophone fingering and responsive breath control, and the result is an instrument that lets you feel connected to every note.

The YDS-152 expands on its predecessor with 16 additional instrument voices and an updated USB-C connection, offering greater variety and convenient connectivity.

ENJOY PLAYING AT A VOLUME THAT SUITS YOU

Choose from 15 volume levels to suit your surroundings, or connect headphones for quieter practice. Whether you’re revisiting a favourite tune or working on something new, the YDS-152 makes it easier to find time to play.

AUTHENTIC RESONANCE YOU CAN FEEL

Yamaha’s Integrated Bell Acoustic System uses a speaker, acoustic pipe and real brass bell to create resonance and vibration that travel back to your lips and fingertips. This physical feedback brings an extra dimension to the playing experience.

89 VOICES FROM A SINGLE INSTRUMENT

Discover 56 saxophone voices spanning soprano, alto, tenor and baritone, alongside a selection of other instrument and synthesiser sounds.

With 16 additional voices compared with the YDS-150, including violin, flute and timpani, the YDS-152 gives you more ways to experiment with arrangements and explore different genres.

FAMILIAR FINGERING, EXPRESSIVE CONTROL

The acoustic-style mouthpiece and saxophone key layout provide a familiar starting point. A breath sensor responds to the strength of your blowing, helping you shape volume and tone, while an analogue controller adds further expressive possibilities.

CUSTOMISE YOUR PLAYING EXPERIENCE

Use Yamaha’s dedicated YDS Controller app to edit sounds, adjust settings and customise fingerings. USB-C connectivity supports connection to compatible smart devices and computers, including MIDI applications.
