Introducing the Yamaha YAS280 student Eb alto saxophone outfit

The Yamaha YAS280 Eb alto saxophone is one of the most reliable, well-engineered and popular student saxophones currently on the market. As an upgraded model of the wildly popular Yamaha YAS275, this instrument now benefits from a sturdier neck receiver with a durable screw, and an ergonomic keywork connection between the low B and C# for better adjustments, consistency, and a clear response from low notes in the range.

Quality construction that’s built to last

The YAS280 is beautifully produced using Yamaha's superior engineering. It has a sturdy body that offers little resistance, making the instrument very free blowing, and the redesigned neck receiver also increases the durability of the mechanism. This is a fantastic value for money instrument, with a high-quality finish and great sound that will last you all the way up to your first professional sax.

Perfect for beginners

This saxophone is designed with the young beginner in mind. It’s lightweight and ergonomically shaped, making even the trickiest notes on the saxophone easy to play. The intonation is perfect, as you would expect from Yamaha, and it is easy to get a great sound, encouraging students to keep practicing. This model also benefits from an adjustable thumb hook, which teaches correct posture and makes finding a comfortable playing position extremely easy.
