A focus on details for learners

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax has been given a complete upgrade by its illustrious manufacturer, with an even stronger focus on the needs of young musicians and music schools. Its predecessor was itself a tried and tested instrument, and thought of very highly by ambitious novices, especially younger learners. Taking the experiences of these users into careful consideration, Yamaha has now managed to add an impressive set of details that are certain to help beginners of all kinds. The body and mechanism of this alto saxophone are made, as usual, from brass and then finished with gold lacquer, and typical saxophone features include the high F# key, the front F key, the full-length flap guard, and the silicone-treated pads. Weighing just 2.4kg (5.2lbs), the Yamaha YAS-280 is also a beginner-friendly featherweight. This bundle additionally includes a set of care utensils and a set of useful accessories as well as a stand and a pack of reeds.

Packed with innovation

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax is essentially based on the company's popular 275 series, but has been revised in various aspects, and as such features a number of innovations. These include, for example, the new bocal mount, which ensures a quick response, improves the sound, and offers increased stability. The low B-C# joint has also been improved and is now equipped with a longer lever, so that the low C# key can be closed more easily and precisely; this optimises the response of the lower notes in particular. The all-round package is also perfect for beginners: Anyone who opts for this instrument will also receive a lightweight case with rucksack straps and a separate shoulder strap, a strap for the saxophone itself, a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece with reed, and cork grease – all included in the set.

For a perfect start

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax was specifically designed with younger learners in mind – this lightweight alto sax is also blessed with a particularly ergonomic form, meaning that it's easy both to hold and play. With its perfect intonation and first-class sound, the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax will encourage young musicians not only while they are learning the instrument, but when learning to using it creatively too. Adhering pragmatically to the maxim that beginner's instruments in particular have to be genuinely playable in as many ways as possible, the Yamaha YAS-280 is both high-spec and extremely flexible in terms of the user's height, hand size, finger length, and general ergonomic profile. The adjustable thumb holder, for example, allows each saxophonist to alter their grip individually, so that the instrument can grow with its owner, to an extent. A key contributor to its impeccable sound is the saxophone's bell, which is composed of two hand-made metal elements that are then joined by machine.

About Yamaha

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.

Addressing the novice's needs

In addition to its core business manufacturing professional instruments, Yamaha's own corporate philosophy sets great store in addressing the development of young talent. The company has initiated its own music school concepts while simultaneously manufacturing the corresponding instruments, including the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax. Those responsible for the brand are very aware that educationally beneficial – and above all enduringly stimulating – learning is only possible with high-quality instruments that meet the physical requirements of the pupils. Motivated learners will only become accomplished musicians if they continue to enjoy the sometimes rocky road. And this can only be achieved if the instrument itself is made to suit the student – not the other way round. In this sense, the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax is an instrument that truly takes on responsibility for each student's musical career. This affordable bundle includes all of the accessories users will require, so there is no need to worry about whether anything is missing.
