Description

YTS-480 Intermediate Bb Tenor Saxophone Lacquer. With a design influenced by high-end Yamaha saxophones, the YTS-480 features highly accurate intonation, a warm tone and a quick response. It is lightweight yet durable, and comes with a professional-quality 62-style neck for a more mature quality of sound. An improved mechanism from low B-C ensures the consistent closing of the low C key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument. A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class, and endears the instrument to the owner. The newly redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62 style neck and necks designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones. The new 62 style neck has been designed for improved tone and response. Another recent innovation is the left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel. The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments. This is an instrument that is situated at a middle price level that displays design considerations and features that derive from some of the finest saxophone designs in the world. It is designed from the top down rather than from the bottom up, and the quality of sound and playability is reflected in that culture.

  • Great sax, great sound
Started with a less expensive saxophone. Struggled with it for three weeks trying to get good notes and good sound. Took it to an instrument technician who found it had five leaks and needed $150 worth of repairs. Decided to send it back. Purchased this Yamaha to replace it. It is a delight. The notes come easily. The lower notes are buttery smooth. Already own a Yamaha alto and a Yamaha clarinet. I have to say all three instruments are high-quality and worth every penny. Now I can focus on improving my technique and embouchure rather than being frustrated with a bad horn. Highly recommend this sax. Came from Sam Ash. ... show more

  • It is a fantastic instrumentand I am addicted to playing it
This arrived yesterday, and way ahead of when I thought it would arrive. It is a fantastic instrumentand I am addicted to playing it. Yamahas are outstanding horns--I have the same model as an alto and love that also. Comes with a very nice case and the mouthpiece is a functional yamaha standard issue. You get better sound if you upgrade to a professional mouthpiece, though. The action on the keys is so smooth and easy that I can play much more fluidly than on my old junker. The price somehow was much, much lower than anywhere else I've looked online and in stores. And because it's Amazon, I didn't have to pay shipping. Once again, I am left asking the question "how does Amazon do it?" I don't know the answer. ... show more
