Great sound
The sound is perfect but the keyes not for professional musicians, perfect for beginners
Nice first Sax
Got this for myself and though it was a bit hard in the beginning (ain't everything), eventually figured it out. It has been still giving and still the change must happen in the player - not the instrument.
Plenty of positive challenge left - even after couple of years owning and playing the instrument.
Lovely sax
Love this instrument, gives off a nice sound but didn’t break the bank Vs the more professional models
Review saxophone Yamaha yas-280
The instrument is very well packaged. The saxophone have a perfect tone! The mechanics of the tool are excellent. In terms of quality, I can note that the inner seam is soldered inaccurately, but these are trifles. Hope the tool lasts a long time. Has a 5 year warranty from Yamaha.
Great Value
Great service.
Pricing is good, delivery is speedy.
I'd recommend to a friend.
perfect
Phenomenal price and perfect quality. I highly recommend
Feels great after half a year
I'm a noob saxophonist. I can play any note on this sax provided the reed is installed right. I'd say there's a challenge moving from C to D of the second octave, but not sure it will be better on other saxophones. The horn is well-made and did not break. The case is fabulous.
Perfect Sax with almost perfect add ons
You definitely can't go wrong with the Yamaha YAS 280 - aka the king of student saxophones. However, I can't understand why they don't include swabs. There is only one cloth for the exterior but nothing for the neck and interior of the body. You will have to order these seperately and should never play this fine instrument without them.
Very satisfied, more than expected!
I purchased Yamaha YAS-280 Set. I am new in saxophone and I want one day be able to play it in our church. I can say punctual delivery and the quality of instrument and accessories were more than I expected. Beside the saxophone itself, I saw the quality of accessories specially sax & music stands were better than I expected. For me this set really deserve 5 star.
Impressed by the quality !
I have just started as a third instrument for me and I am very happy with the quality and sound of this instrument !
