Fantastic horn
Klim 04.08.2025
Playable out of the box and I have no issues using it over my YAS62. The silver finish is very nice.
So it's a great backup horn, or even main horn (but then I'm one who can't tell there difference any of the 4k+ horns make). And particularly better for travel as it's lighter.

And I need to mention just how good the case is. I ignored it for the first few years as I already had a Protec case. But have now swapped to its original case and it's so so much lighted and straps are more ergonomic. The Protec is shelved.

very nice sax
Les Taylor 01.08.2018
His little baby is fantastic. The silver shine is very attractive and the sound is not like a "student" horn. after 35 years clarinete and saxophone experience I can tell you that this Yamaha 280s is a very nice and correct partner on the stage for a pro musitian and also perfect for beginners. Absolutely recommended!
Yamaha & Thomann thank you! again :)
