Used Yamaha YAS-480 Alto Saxophone

Used Yamaha YAS-480 Alto Saxophone

Description

The Yamaha YAS-480 Alto Saxophone is a step-up instrument designed for advancing students and serious players who want professional-level response and tone without jumping to a full pro model. Known for Yamaha’s exceptional build quality and consistency, the YAS-480 offers smooth key action, excellent intonation, and a rich, centered tone.

This model features improved ergonomics and a slightly more advanced neck design compared to beginner saxophones, allowing for better airflow and tonal flexibility. It’s a fantastic choice for middle and high school band students looking to upgrade, as well as adult players returning to the instrument. Reliable, responsive, and teacher-approved, this sax delivers confidence in both practice and performance settings.

Condition

This saxophone is in used condition but has been fully inspected and tested. All keys, pads, and mechanisms function properly. It may show cosmetic wear consistent with normal use, but it plays smoothly and produces a strong, clear tone.
