Key Features
The ideal choice for up and coming players. Featuring an authoritative tone with great flexibility, the YTS480 tenor saxophone is designed for players who are progressing past the grade 5 standard.
Similar to Yamaha's professional range of tenor saxophone, the YTS480 features the same octave key system as the 62 models. Not only is this more reliable, but also allows custom necks to be used.
The YTS480 has many new features which help to improve the performance of the model, including a redesigned low B-C# connection to ensure that the low C# key consistently closes. Included with the tenor saxophone is a moulded hard case with a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece so you can start practising straight away.

the Yamaha YTS480 comes with a 62 Neck, which has been designed for improved performance and response through the instrument itself. Better airflow results in a clean and even tone. The redesigned octave key however gives the performer to upgrade on to a different neck should they wish (sold separately). Examples such as the Custom Z and Custom EY saxophone necks are compatible with this saxophone to give a truly fantastic sound.
A few features of the YTS480 have been refined since the introduction of the predecessor, the YTS475. The left hand seesaw keys have been upgraded to provide it more ergonomic and playable for all musicians. As well as that, it has been made to be more comfortable, thus increasing playing durability. The B-C# key has also been improved to ensure a consistent closing and to produce a clearer and deeper sound on the low range of the instrument.
Please note that this instrument is an ex-display model. It has been used in our York showroom display and, while showing a signs of a couple of faint scratches, the instrument is 100 percent playable. The instrument includes all the accessories and the 1 year warranty as standard.
