Pre-Owned Yamaha YSS-475 Intermediate Soprano Saxophone - Clear Lacquer

We have a remarkably clean step-up soprano on the bench today. The Yamaha YSS-475 is widely considered one of the most reliable and highly sought-after intermediate soprano saxophones on the market. By utilizing a fixed, one-piece straight body design, Yamaha managed to capture much of the world-class intonation and acoustic response of their Custom EX line while keeping the horn incredibly lightweight and accessible.

This specific horn, carrying serial number 009937A, is structurally solid and exceptionally clean. While it has been played and shows a few super small, honest signs of normal wear and tear, there is absolutely no structural damage to worry about. If you are looking to add a soprano to your doubling arsenal or need a dependable horn for wind ensemble without stepping up to a $5,000 professional price tag, this is exactly the model you want to find.

Key Features & Specifications

• One-Piece Straight Body: The fixed-neck design eliminates a joint connection, providing superior airflow, enhanced resonance, and rock-solid intonation stability.
• Professional-Style Ergonomics: Yamaha's legendary keywork layout ensures that the transition from alto or tenor feels natural and comfortable under the fingers.
• High F# Key: Includes the standard modern altissimo key for advanced repertoire and commercial playing.
• Clear Lacquer Finish: Offers a warm, centered core tone while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic.

Condition & Shop Inspection
