Below is information about this model:
The Yamaha YAS-480 is a popular intermediate alto saxophone that bridges the gap between student models (like the YAS-26) and professional horns (like the YAS-62). [1, 2, 3]Key Highlights and Features
- Custom Neck Compatibility: The redesigned octave key system allows you to swap out the included 62-style neck for professional-level Yamaha necks (such as the Custom Z or Custom EX) as your playing grows.
- 62-Style Neck: It comes with an annealed YAS-62 style neck featuring a slightly narrower bore taper, which improves tone, projection, and pitch control.
- Improved Ergonomics
- Features a redesigned left-hand seesaw key for faster, more comfortable transitions.
- Includes a tear-drop shaped front F key to enhance high-register playability.
- Comes with an adjustable thumb hook for hand comfort.
- Better Low-Range Response: An upgraded low B-C# connection mechanism ensures the low C# key closes consistently, making notes in the bottom register much clearer and more reliable.
- Separate Key Guards: Styled with independent key guards and adjustable screw cap stoppers, allowing for technician-friendly adjustments just like professional horns.
- Hand-Engraved Bell: Adds a refined, professional aesthetic compared to basic student instruments.
