Yamaha YAS-480 Intermediate Alto Saxophone
For sale is a Near Mint, pre-owned Yamaha YAS-480 Alto Saxophone, serial number S33364. Manufactured in Indonesia, this instrument is the current gold standard for intermediate saxophones. This specific horn was adult-owned and purchased new only a few months ago before being traded in for an upgrade. It is in pristine, like-new condition and offers a rare opportunity to save hundreds off the retail price of a brand-new unit.
This is the perfect instrument for the advancing student, adult beginner, or professional doubler. Because it is compatible with Yamaha's professional Custom Series necks, this saxophone can grow with the player, making it a "forever horn" for many community band and gigging musicians.
The YAS-480 Advantage: Professional Features
The YAS-480 is designed to bridge the gap between student and professional models, incorporating key features from Yamaha's high-end line.
-
Custom Neck Compatibility: The defining feature of the 480 is the professional 62-style neck receiver. This allows the player to upgrade the sound in the future by swapping to a Yamaha Custom Z or EX neck.
-
Improved Low End: Features an improved Low B-C# connection mechanism, ensuring consistent closing of the low C# key and a clearer response in the lower register.
-
Hand Engraving: Unlike lower models, the 480 features a beautiful hand-engraved pattern on the bell, providing a professional aesthetic.
-
Condition Report: This instrument is Near Mint. It has seen only a few months of light use by an adult owner. The lacquer is vibrant, the pads are fresh, and there are no dents or significant scratches. It is effectively a new horn.
