Yas-480s

Product Description

The YAS-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 & intonation are excellent as you would expect from Yamaha. Based on the popular YAS-475 the new YAS-480 saxophones feature an enhanced low B-C connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system (from the 62 Series) facilitates the use of custom necks. Hand engraving A h&-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class. Compatible with Custom Yamaha necks The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included 62-style neck & those designed for the Custom Z & Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately). Improved Low B-C connection An enhanced mechanism from low B-C ensures the consistent closing of the low C key & promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument. Neck The 62-style neck has been designed for enhanced tone & 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.
