Yamaha YAS-280 - Alto Saxophone (M81902)

Product Information

The excellent Yamaha YAS-280 beginner alto sax is perfect as a first saxophone, or even for a player upgrading from their first model. It is made to the usual exacting standards set by Yamaha and as such it is a joy to play, a joy to own and ideal for any new player. Highly regarded by teachers and players alike, the YAS-280 has been the number one choice for new players for years.

The reliability is not something to be overlooked. Having an instrument that works correctly and keeps working, when you are starting out or advancing, is so important. From a playing point of view it has a very even tone from top to bottom and speaks easily, and the tuning is very reliable, so it would be ideal from the very first grade all the way up to Grade 5 or 6 without any issues.

This ex-rental instrument has been fully maintained from new by our own workshop, so we know exactly what it has had done and when. It is in excellent condition and mechanically it is in great order, as we fully check and set up every second-hand saxophone before sale here in our woodwind workshop. This particular instrument has had special treatment by our repair techs who have added a silver-plated bell for the added ‘bling factor’! A unique YAS-280 that cannot be missed out on!

It is supplied in the original Yamaha case with 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.
