$2,145.00
$2,599.00

There's many good reasons why this is Australia's favourite student alto saxophone! Teachers love them because they rarely have any problems, and technicians love servicing them. Students and parents love them because they are reliable, play in tune, have a great sound, and come with a backpackable case. It all adds up to a no-brainer when it comes to choosing your first sax!

Start the saxophone right, with the Yamaha YAS-280 Student Alto Saxophone. The Yamaha Student Alto Saxophone is designed with the young beginner in mind, relatively light weight and ergonomically shaped so it's easy to play for longer. Not only easy to play, this Yamaha saxophone is dependable, with excellent intonation and a great sound.

Based on the highly recommended YAS-275 Saxophone, the YAS-280 is even further enhanced with a more stable neck receiver and low B-C# connection for better adjustment.
