Unable to continue renting a saxophone at the conservatory and wanting to keep playing, I decided to invest in this Yamaha, which many consider the best study saxophone available. I love its warm sound, ergonomics, and finish. No regrets about this choice.

Study saxophone as indicated. Its sound is right and just.
Lacks warmth but with another mouthpiece already reveals more harmonies and "sounds" better.
For a child, it remains a safe bet nonetheless.

Having tried the WSA-100 and SML Paris A300 before the Yamaha YAS-280, unsurprisingly the YAS-280 proves to be more focused, with an astonishing ease of play, both in terms of sound and fingerings. However, the sound lacks much personality compared to my old Selmer (I'm stating the obvious), but it fulfills its function well as a student saxophone. My daughter, who is moving from a curved soprano to this alto, immediately found her bearings and already produces a correct and accurate sound from the first handling.
For a more experienced saxophonist, they will need to turn to a more assertive mouthpiece to make it sound as it should.
Small details: the soldering is lead-free.

Yamaha quality for a great price. This is a master purchase. I sold my first Yas 280 to get a Selmer. . . . I resold the >Selmer to buy back a Yas 280. . . . everything is said

I played saxophone for 12 years, then took a 4-year break without a saxophone at hand. I decided to get back into it and took this one which is very good. I have been surprised by its quality since I got it, let's see if it lasts!
