Yamaha Bb Tenor Saxophone / Sax YTS-480S, with case and stand

I've owned this tenor for 2-3 years, it's in great playing condition, but I need to trim my saxophone collection so it has to go! The instrument has served me well at a number of gigs and festivals. It's been played at Green Man Festival, Kendal Calling, Manchester Jazz Festival, Elderflower Fields and more, and venues including Pizza Express Jazz Club, The 100 Club, Matt & Phreds, Blues Kitchen, The Jazz Cafe etc. Includes case in good condition (couple of minor marks), plus sax stand.

This intermediate saxophone is designed to make the step up from your student model smooth and enjoyable. The YAS/YTS-480 saxophones are a step ahead. They have an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility due to the separated key guards. Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent as you would expect from Yamaha. Based on the popular YAS/YTS-475 the new YAS/YTS-480 saxophones feature an improved low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system (from the 62 Series) facilitates the use of custom necks.

A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class. An improved mechanism from low B-C# ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from notes in the low range of the instrument.

The 62-style neck has been designed for improved tone and response. The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments. The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.
