A focus on details for learners

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax has been given a complete upgrade by its illustrious manufacturer, with an even stronger focus on the needs of young musicians and music schools. Its predecessor was itself a tried and tested instrument, and thought of very highly by ambitious novices, especially younger learners. Taking the experiences of these users into careful consideration, Yamaha has now managed to add an impressive set of details that are certain to help beginners of all kinds. The body and mechanism of this alto saxophone are made, as usual, from brass and then finished with gold lacquer, and typical saxophone features include the high F# key, the front F key, the full-length flap guard, and the silicone-treated pads. Weighing just 2.4kg (5.2lbs), the Yamaha YAS-280 is also a beginner-friendly featherweight. This bundle additionally includes an extensive set of accessories, such as a stand, a sheet music holder, a set of reeds, and a tuner.

Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax

Packed with innovation

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax is essentially based on the company's popular 275 series, but has been revised in various aspects, and as such features a number of innovations. These include, for example, the new bocal mount, which ensures a quick response, improves the sound, and offers increased stability. The low B-C# joint has also been improved and is now equipped with a longer lever, so that the low C# key can be closed more easily and precisely; this optimises the response of the lower notes in particular. The all-round package is also perfect for beginners: Anyone who opts for this instrument will also receive a lightweight case with rucksack straps and a separate shoulder strap, a strap for the saxophone itself, a Yamaha 4C mouthpiece with reed, and cork grease – all included in the set.

For a perfect start

The Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax was specifically designed with younger learners in mind – this lightweight alto sax is also blessed with a particularly ergonomic form, meaning that it's easy both to hold and play. With its perfect intonation and first-class sound, the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax will encourage young musicians not only while they are learning the instrument, but when learning to using it creatively too. Adhering pragmatically to the maxim that beginner's instruments in particular have to be genuinely playable in as many ways as possible, the Yamaha YAS-280 is both high-spec and extremely flexible in terms of the user's height, hand size, finger length, and general ergonomic profile. The adjustable thumb holder, for example, allows each saxophonist to alter their grip individually, so that the instrument can grow with its owner, to an extent. A key contributor to its impeccable sound is the saxophone's bell, which is composed of two hand-made metal elements that are then joined by machine.

About Yamaha

For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world's best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company's long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.

Addressing the novice's needs

In addition to its core business manufacturing professional instruments, Yamaha's own corporate philosophy sets great store in addressing the development of young talent. The company has initiated its own music school concepts while simultaneously manufacturing the corresponding instruments, including the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax. Those responsible for the brand are very aware that educationally beneficial – and above all enduringly stimulating – learning is only possible with high-quality instruments that meet the physical requirements of the pupils. Motivated learners will only become accomplished musicians if they continue to enjoy the sometimes rocky road. And this can only be achieved if the instrument itself is made to suit the student – not the other way round. In this sense, the Yamaha YAS-280 Alto Sax is an instrument that truly takes on responsibility for each student's musical career. This affordable bundle includes all of the accessories users will require, so there is no need to worry about whether anything is missing.

Awesome
Luís C. 13.06.2015
I liked the product very much. All the ad-ons of the set were amazing and are very useful, I'm talking about the metronome and also the instrument holder.
I also liked the sax very much and it has a good price-quality relation.
Overall, I think it's a great set if you are a beginer or an intermedium saxophone player.
5 stars!

Erstklassiges Schüler- und Zweitinstrument
Wolfgang S. 204 26.11.2012
Ich muss zugeben, ich bin vorbelastet... vor 20 Jahren hatte ich ein Yamaha-Tenorsax (aus der damaligen 6er-Serie), seit einigen Jahren spiele ich das YSS 475 im Saxquartett und nebenbei ein Stage Custom Drumset - auch von Yamaha. Insofern bin ich durchaus bekennender "Yamahaist".
Da es immer wieder Literatur für Saxquartett gibt, bei der die erste Stimme für Alt- statt für Sopransax geschrieben ist, war ich jetzt auf der Suche nach einem Altsax als Zweitinstrument für den gelegentlichen Auftritt; außerdem sollte es zu 50% mein Sohn bekommen, der seit einem Jahr Saxophon lernt.
Soviel zur Vorgeschichte.
Bestellt habe ich das YAS 280 mit dem Hintergedanken, ggf. auch das 480 zu probieren, allerdings hat es mir dann so gut gefallen, dass ich es gleich behalten habe.

Der Koffer macht einen sehr sauber verarbeiteten und durchdachten Eindruck, bietet reichlich Stauraum innen wie außen, hat zwei Griffe sowie versenkbare Tragegurte und ist zudem sehr leicht.
Die Erstausstattung ist passabel. Wischer für Korpus und S-Bogen sind nicht dabei (Tip: gleich bestellen); den mitgelieferten Gurt werde ich auch nur als Ersatzteil behalten, da er am Nacken nicht gepolstert ist.
Das Horn selbst ist top verarbeitet (gerade für die Preisklasse) - ein Marschgabelhalter ist dran, der Daumenhalter ist verstellbar.

Nach einer Woche Eingewöhnung hatten wir dann "unseren" ersten gemeinsamen Auftritt - drei Préludes von Debussy, gesetzt für Kirchenorgel und Altsaxophon. Was soll ich sagen - die Intonation ist absolut tadellos, die Ansprache ist erstklassig; gerade bei Pianissimo-Stellen im Bereich Hoch-F hat sich das ausbezahlt.
Im unteren Grenzbereich braucht's für mich sicher noch etwas Übung um auch leise Stellen sauber zu treffen - das liegt aber sicher daran, dass ich von der Klarinette bzw. vom Sopransax her komme.
Das Mundstück ist sehr gut auf das Saxophon abgestimmt - hier hat Yamaha anscheinend (ebenso wie beim Sopran) mit dem 4C ein glückliches Händchen.

Der Klang ist - in der Kombination von Sax, Mundstück, Blatt und Musiker - durchaus angenehm, fast warm; in keinem Fall dünn.
Auch mein Sohn kommt auf Anhieb damit zurecht.

Fazit:
Ein erstklassiges Schüler- und Zweitinstrument. Wer längerfristig und/oder häufiger spielt, kann sich durchaus preislich noch nach oben bewegen und einen Blick auf die 4er-Serie (und darüber hinaus) werfen. In dieser Preisklasse allerdings bekommt das YAS 280 eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

YAS 280, saxo alto de milieu de gamme très performant
Sophie M. 26.09.2012
Je suis enchanté de mon acquisition du yamaha yas 280 qui me convient parfaitement tant par sa sonorité que par sa fluidité.
Je suis passé d'un saxo d'apprentissage au yas 280 et la différence s'est faite sentir dès la première note. A conseiller pour un prix aux alentours de 1000€, on aurait difficilement mieux, avec en plus la qualité yamaha qui n'est plus à démontrer. Très bon instrument conseillé par les profs de musique.

YAS280
Peterluwi 23.03.2013
Habe mir nach einem Jahr Unterricht auf einem Billig-NoName-Instrument
ein YAS280 zugelegt und diesen Kauf noch nicht eine Sekunde bereut.

Einige Umstellung war für mich nötig, da die Knöpfe im Vergleich zum Beginner-Modell jetzt etwas enger angeordnet sind. Aber Ansprache, Leichtgängigkeit der Mechanik und Verarbeitung entschädigen dafür reichlich.
