Yamaha YAS-23 alto saxophone — widely regarded as one of the best student/intermediate altos ever made, known for excellent intonation and reliable, professional-feeling response. A favorite recommendation among band teachers for players moving beyond entry-level horns.

Condition: Played and confirmed functional — all keys work and it produces sound across the range. That said, it will likely benefit from a pad check/adjustment for optimal seal, as it hasn't had a service in a while. Lacquer shows honest wear and tarnishing consistent with a well-used student instrument, no major dents.

Included:

  • Original hard case
  • Meyer Made in USA mouthpiece (not New York)
  • Reed knife (Vitry, Paris — made in France) for reed adjustment
  • Soft Gig bag (dusty but can be cleaned)

A great opportunity to get one of the most respected student altos on the market at a fair used price. Message with any questions or for more photos.
