Product Information
The Yamaha YAS-280 beginner Sax offers a perfect introduction to the world of the saxophone. Whether a student beginner, or an advanced player needing a doubling instrument, the 280 series saxes offer surprisingly high quality features at a student model price.
This is the top selling student/intermediate sax in the world. Made to the highest standards the 280 still outperforms everything around it.

Yamaha YAS-280 - Alto Saxophone Reviews
Having rented a sax from Dawkes for my son, we decided that it was time to buy him his own. The service we received purchasing the new sax has been fantastic and he says that it is superb to play and has a great tone. It feels and looks very high quality and the carry case is strong with useful pockets for accessories and music.
Kasey was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful both in advance and on the day. Great Saxophone, my son loves playing it!
Not new to brass or guitar, but new to woodwind. Staff were very helpful dealing with a series of questions to assess suitability of alto v tenor, what's in the box, reeds, delivery, service et.al. Excellent packaging and delivery. An alto is eminently handlable, and pitched within human voice range, so perfect. Thoroughly recommend Dawkes as the supplier, and an alto for a beginning saxophonist.
The service and care that Matt showed myself and my grandson was above and beyond what I expected. Thank you. My grandson had a fantastic afternoon in the store; an experience that he will never forget.
Great and easy process purchasing from Dawkes, delivered very quickly and well packaged. Loved the extra reeds thrown in to the case. Also love the fact they do tune ups and loved the videos online, really helped me pick the right sax for me. Can't recommend enough.
Love playing this instrument, tone is so much better than my previous one
Huge upgrade, so worth the trip to the shop.
This alto is just right for me
Great sound output, Light weight
Excellent sax for the money! Plays really well!
