The Yamaha YTS-480 tenor saxophone has many of the same features found on Yamaha professional saxophones and provides the YTS480 tenor sax with greater playability and optimum tone. 

These features include: annealed original 62 neck design for improved response and tone; redesigned octave key system provides flexibility in choosing between the included 62-style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and EX Yamaha saxophones; left-hand seesaw keys redesigned for increased playability and better feel, and much more.

The Yamaha YTS-480 intermediate tenor sax is designed to make the step up from a student model smooth and enjoyable. It helps to bring out the best of the performer and is an ideal choice for any saxophonist wanting a better instrument.
