Yamaha YAS-480 Alto Saxophone in Eb – gold lacquer with high F# & front F keys, case and 4C mouthpiece included

Your step from beginner to expressive saxophonist

The Yamaha YAS-480 is an intermediate Eb alto saxophone built on the proven 475 series and refined at key points. It is made for anyone ready to grow beyond pure beginner level: ambitious learners, returning players and advancing musicians who want a dependable instrument with a robust sound and exemplary intonation. Yamaha combines precise craftsmanship here with a tonal character that stays with you for years.

Secure low response and a flexible neck choice

An improved connection of the low B and C# notes gives a cleaner response in the lower register and a durably precise mechanism setting. The newly developed octave mechanism also gives you the freedom to play the YAS-480 not only with the included 480-style neck, but also with necks from the Custom-Z and Custom-EX series (sold separately). The instrument grows with your tonal ambitions.

Comfortable mechanism and refined looks

The well-considered key mechanism, with its adjustable thumb hook and polyester key buttons, sits comfortably and fatigue-free under the hand. The hand-crafted engraving on the two-piece bell and the warm gold-lacquer finish give the saxophone a premium, distinctive appearance.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Secure low end: improved B-C# connection for clear response of the low notes.
• Flexible sound: playable with the included 480-style neck as well as Custom-Z and Custom-EX necks.
• Comfortable mechanism: adjustable thumb hook and polyester key buttons for relaxed playing.
