The Yamaha Tenor Saxophone YTS480 - Intermediate model is a step ahead. With a little bit more resistance, they have an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility due to the separated key guards. Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent.
The YTS480 saxophones feature an improved low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave key system facilitates the use of custom necks.
