Yamaha YAS-480

Professional Style Neck

A neck based on the original YAS-62 professional saxophone neck is designed for improved
tone and response.

Hand engraving

A hand-engraved pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class.

Compatible with Custom Yamaha necks

The redesigned octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose between the included
62 style neck and those designed for the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).

Key guard

The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.

Left-hand seesaw key

The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more
comfortable feel.

Improved Low B-C# connection

An improved mechanism from low B-C# ensures the consistent closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear 
response from notes in the low range of the instrument.

Backpack-style Case

Semi-hard case offers a contemporary look and greater ease of transport.
