With a design influenced by high-end Yamaha saxophones, the Yamaha YTS-480 features highly accurate intonation, a warm tone and a quick response.

The Yamaha YTS-480 saxophones are 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 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.

It is lightweight yet durable, and comes with a professional-quality 62-style neck for a more mature quality of sound.

Key Features:

• A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class.
• The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck and custom designs (sold separately).
• 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.
• The 62-style neck has been designed for improved tone and response.
• The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.
• The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.
