The ideal entry into the world of the saxophone – Yamaha YAS-280

With the Yamaha YAS-280 you lay the foundation for a rewarding musical journey. This E-flat alto saxophone was designed specifically for beginners and is a trusted recommendation among music teachers. Its low weight, thoughtful ergonomics and balanced intonation make starting out as pleasant as possible, so you can focus on what matters most from day one: playing.

A yellow brass body with a classic gold lacquer finish

The yellow brass body in an elegant gold lacquer finish delivers a warm, carrying tone and a classic look. The two-piece bell with a reinforcing inner ring gives the sound extra stability and fine projection, qualities you will notice clearly even in your first weeks of practice.

Thoughtful mechanics for a frustration-free playing feel

The high F-sharp key and front F key give you full flexibility across the entire range. The improved low B/C-sharp connection ensures the lower keys close precisely, and the optimised neck receiver guarantees a quick response and long durability. The adjustable thumb rest adapts to your hand size, and continuous key guards reliably protect the mechanism in everyday use.

• Full tonal control: high F-sharp and front F key across the whole range.
