Ergonomically designed, with excellent playability and intonation, it inherits Yamaha's signature characteristics. Based on the best-selling YAS/YTS-475, the new YAS/YTS-480 saxophone features an improved lowB-C# key arm design for easier adjustments, and a new octave key system (from the 62 series) compatible with CUSTOM-grade neck tubes.

Additional items can be added at a discounted price of $178.AWEDA Durable Premium Music Stand with Bag (Original Price: $250)
A sturdy music stand is an essential accessory for orchestral players. Because playing the orchestra requires looking straight ahead, sheet music cannot be simply placed on the table. A music stand is necessary for proper posture!
This AWEDA music stand is foldable for easy storage and is made of thicker and sturdier material than typical music stands. Its three-lock design makes height adjustment easier. The non-slip bottom ensures safety, and a thick padded music stand bag is included for convenient carrying.
You can also add D'addario Royal midrange stylist reeds [1 box of 10] for a discounted price of $173 (original price: $183).
The reeds of wind instruments are consumables. The reeds produce sound through high-frequency vibrations. After prolonged use, the plant fibers lose elasticity, resulting in a thinner sound, difficulty in producing high notes, and a lower pitch (becoming flatter). The edges are also prone to developing tiny serrations, cracks, or bending deformation, which prevents them from sealing perfectly with the mouthpiece, causing air leakage and extraneous noise. Musicians then need to bite the mouthpiece hard or change their embouchure to compensate for the tone, which can easily lead to incorrect sounding habits.
The saliva, moisture, and body temperature generated during playing can turn the porous structure of the reeds into a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and fungi. If the reeds are not replaced for a long time, they can easily cause oral hygiene problems or bad breath.
Therefore, we recommend replacing the reed with a brand new one every month to maintain tone, playing efficiency, and hygiene.
You can also add the essential beginner's guide, *A Tune A Day for Saxophone Book 1*, for a discounted price of $137 (original price: $147).
A Tune A Day for Saxophone Book 1 is a popular and well-known saxophone instruction book by C. Paul Herfurth. The book is rich in content, including lessons, illustrations, fingering charts, daily practice logs, quizzes, and sheet music for assignments. It is ideal for beginners.
