Yamaha YTS-480 Tenor Saxophone
Intermediate model in Gold lacquer finish, with case
This intermediate saxophone is designed to make the step up from your student model smooth and enjoyable.
The YTS-480 saxophone is a step ahead. With a little bit more resistance, it has an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility due to the separated key guards.
Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent as you would expect from Yamaha.
Based on the popular YTS-475 the new YTS-480 saxophones feature an improved low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system (from the 62 Series) facilitates the use of custom necks.
Features:
Hand engraving
A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class.
Compatible with other necks
The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).
Improved Low B-C# connection
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.
Neck
The 62-style neck has been designed for improved tone and response.
Key guard
The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
Left-hand seesaw key
The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.
