MADE IN JAPAN: Yamaha YAS-23 Alto Sax - Our #1 Student Pick 🇯🇵

This is the horn band directors ask for by name, and it’s our number one recommended model for beginning students. A Japanese-built Yamaha YAS-23 in excellent condition, serviced and ready to play.

True Japanese craftsmanship - built before Yamaha moved production out of Japan in 2012

Just serviced with excellent pads, regulation, and playability

The gold standard for student horns - reliable, in-tune, and easy to play

One-year standard maintenance warranty for Florida residents

Japanese Quality vs. Today’s Prices

New YAS-23 Yamahas are $2900+. But many players agree the older Japanese YAS-23s are built better than today’s entry models. You’re getting legendary Yamaha consistency at a student-horn price.

No Chinese assembly - this is classic Yamaha Japan quality

Proven durability that survives school band, jazz band, and marching season

Better resale value than most modern student saxes

Why pay new prices for a horn that isn’t made in Japan anymore? Own the quality that built Yamaha’s reputation and give your student the best possible start.
