The black lacquered model features a look that is as elegant as it gets. Good looks are offered with no compromise in the quality of sound.

This is the latest edition of Yamaha's European / Japanese market offering. We find this model to be, without a doubt, the ultimate student alto. Yamaha had set the standard with the YAS-23 and has now surpassed itself. the 280 is an upgrade of Yamaha's 275 student alto. With polished brass keys that give the horn the look of a pro model, It features a high F# and is further enhanced with a new, more stable neck receiver. Relatively light-weight and ergonomically shaped, the 280 is easy to hold and play. The intonation is perfect and it is easy to get a great sound. A 4C mouthpiece and back pack style light case are included.

An intermediate level alto that rivals a pro horn. The Yamaha YAS-480 Lacquer Alto Saxophone has the feel of their pro Custom model. Yamaha's upgraded Original YAS-62 design neck puts this alto right in the pocket with intonation and sound quality.

The 62's were always the benchmark of Yamaha's line. With the advent of the 62III, Yamaha has managed to improve the horn and keep a reasonable price. With that, the 62 has set a higher standard for itself. The silver plate raises the sonic quality of this horn to a level equal to that of a custom model from Yamaha. Hard to get, so, give a call to check availability.

If your search for the ultra-hard-to-get Silver Custom Z alto has been fruitless, your luck has changed. We do have this horn in stock, and this one could be yours. The Custom Z is a versatile horn that will cover all genres of play. It's even scale, great projection, and sweet tone are sure to make it the new benchmark of Yamaha's lineup. With the addition of Silver plating, an added dimension in liveliness of response and aesthetics that are second to none has been realized.

 As good as Yamaha's latest, improved version of the lacquered Custom Z's are, an extra dimension of response comes into play with this unlacquered alto. For years, players have been bringing their lacquered horns to our shop to have us strip the lacquer and hand polish them. Why? For years, players in the know have considered unlacquered horns to be more resonant. With the Unlacquered Custom Z, Yamaha has cut out the middle man and now allows the player to break in a brand new horn that is unlacquered. In time, the raw brass of this horn will develop a rich, dark patina. Yamaha's big brother to this horn, the YTS-82Z Unlacquered Tenor, has already proven itself to be outstanding. Both of these horns, with their right-on intonation and sweet sonics, are sure to prove themselves to be classics. 

Yamaha has created a truly top of the line alto with their EX model.This model has incredible ergonomics and intonation, but most importantly, the sound is full with a surprising warmth.

This is a no frills, one piece, soprano with a range to high F#. It has many of the features previously incorporated into the pro-line 62 model.- Excellent scale , tuning and responsive keyboard. The sound is centered and solid. At the price it is being offered there is little to no serious competition. It is really the only choice at its low price point being offered today from any main-line company, with a reputation behind it like Yamaha, available on the market today. Yamaha's retain their value and there is plenty of value incorporated in this "intermediate" gem. It out plays and is better constructed than lesser companies "Pro-line Models" whatever their price. If this horn meets your budget requirements , we can't in good conscience really recommend a better choice.

It is constructed to the very highest standards and has a rich solid voice all its own.

In our opinion this is a true journeyman's horn that mechanically is least likely to develop glitches or require spot maintenance of any horn currently on the market. It's extreme reliability and solid full sound as well as its excellent action and scale, with improved tuning, make it a first choice for many professional musicians. It has a beauty and level of excellence all its own.

This is a picture of a typical YAS-23, which we consider to be the best student alto on the market.

We offer used YAS-23's in a variety of cosmetic conditions.

At the present time we have models, in a range of cosmetic conditions, priced from $500 to $800. A $500 alto will show some real signs of use (with some repaired dents, lacquer wear, etc.) and one priced at $800 is like new with only the most minor signs of use (a scratch or two).
