Item Description

The Yamaha Tenor Saxophone YTS480 - Intermediate model is a step ahead. With a little bit more resistance, they have an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility due to the separated key guards. Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent. The YTS480 saxophones feature an improved low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system 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. 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.
