The YTS-280 is the top selling student/intermediate tenor saxophone in the world. The design of the crook is based on the 'Professional 62' model to give a flexible, responsive tone. New beginners will find this sax easy to play and produce a secure tone on whilst advancing players will enjoy the quality tone and positive action.

The YTS-280 really stands out amongst student saxophones with its smoooth keywork, free-blowing character and overall excellent responsiveness. Its rugged build quality means that these saxophones really hold their value and are very much the instrument of choice within their price-range. This silver plated model looks great on tenor sax, although the lack of a layer of lacquer means that occasional cleaning with a silver polish cloth is required to maintain the finish. It is important to acknowledge that the natural process of tarnishing cannot be completely stopped, however, many musicians prefer the development of the patina that occurs over time with silver plated saxophones.
