Yamaha YAS-280 - Alto Saxophone (K79951)

Product Information

The Yamaha YAS-280 is the best selling student alto saxophone in the UK and the instrument most teachers will point a beginner towards. Yamaha's consistency is the reason: every one plays the same, the tuning is dependable and the keywork is comfortable under a smaller hand.

It has an easy response and a clean, even tone that lets a beginner concentrate on playing rather than fighting the instrument, and it is robust enough for school and rehearsal life. It will take a player comfortably from a first lesson through to Grade 5 and beyond, and a well maintained one holds its value better than almost anything else in the category.

This particular example is in excellent condition. The lacquer is almost fully in tact on the body. There is only a small bit of wear on the neck. The sax has had a full overhaul and all pads replaced. Like all our pre-owned saxophones it has been fully checked and set up in our woodwind workshop prior to sale by one of our experienced technicians, so you can buy with total confidence.

It is supplied with the original Yamaha case and original Yamaha 4C mouthpiece. At this price it represents a considerable saving on the new equivalent, and it is ready to play from the moment it arrives.
