YAS-475ID Alto Saxophone - Intermediate
The 475 is an ideal step-up instrument, perfect for bringing the best out of advancing students. With a design based upon the Pro and Custom saxes, it shares many of their features, including highly accurate intonation, warm tone, and a quick response.
The 475 is easy to sound great on! It is lightweight yet durable, and comes with a classic 62 style neck for optimum sound and playability. It also comes with an attractive, highly protective case, and a convenient shoulder strap.
We are often asked the difference between a YAS275 and YAS475, so, here are the main points:
- The 475 crook, although similar in design to the 275, benefits from annealed brass. This process improves the resonant qualities of the brass.
- The Low Bb Key has a different angle making it more ergonomical under the fingers.
- Better strap support on the bow of the instrument to provide security and re-inforcement of a delicate area.
- Better pivot screws are used to hold the keys in, they are nylon tipped to provide an ultra quiet key action and are easier to adjust for repairmen.
- The Bell is engraved for a more professional and unique look.
Specifications:
Gold lacquer finish, adjustable thumbrest, supplied in a new design lightweight case, supplied with Yamaha mouthpiece and Accessory pack.
