There's many good reasons why this is Australia's favourite student alto saxophone! Teachers love them because they rarely have any problems, and technicians love servicing them. Students and parents love them because they are reliable, play in tune, have a great sound, and come with a backpackable case. It all adds up to a no-brainer when it comes to choosing your first sax!

Start the saxophone right, with the Yamaha YAS-280S Student Alto Saxophone. The Yamaha Student Alto Saxophone is designed with the young beginner in mind, relatively light weight and ergonomically shaped so it's easy to play for longer. Not only easy to play, this Yamaha saxophone is dependable, with excellent intonation and a great sound.

Based on the highly recommended YAS-275S Saxophone, the YAS-280S is even further enhanced with a more stable neck receiver and low B-C# connection for better adjustment.

Yamaha YAS280 Student Alto Saxophone

The Yamaha YAS280 is generally regarded as one of the best student horns on the market. For getting started and even as a budget horn for a more advanced player, these are an ideal choice.

Yamaha YAS-280 Student Alto Saxophone features include:

  • Key: Eb
  • New neck receiver with a durable screw: a redesigned neck receiver promotes a quick response and ease of play while also increasing the durability of the mechanism
  • Improved low B-C# connection: 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
  • Adjustable thumb-rest: all Yamaha saxophones feature an adjustable thumb-rest to allow for precise and comfortable hand and fingering position
  • High F# auxiliary key
  • Includes modern backpackable case
  • Accessory kit includes 4C mouthpiece, ligature and cap, external polishing cloth, neck strap and cork grease

We recommend you also purchase internal cleaning swabs for the saxophone's body and mouthpiece/neck, and a box of reeds. You may also wish to pick up a more comfortable neckstrap.
