The Yamaha Alto YAS275 sax is the base lower end model of the Yamaha alto sax line that they have come out with. This is pretty much what you call the young person sax or the student sax. A lot of younger kids in middle school and when they first start out in band start with using this sax. But since it’s the base model many people tend to think that it lacks playability or that it’s a weaker model and that isn’t true at all. The Yamaha Alto YSS275 when played sounds like a top of the line alto sax. Its sound is one of a kind and for the price of this sax you can beat it. Almost all school systems have an option with a musical instrument company that you can rent or purchase this sax. So keep an eye out for the brand name because if a you are looking for a sax this model / brand will come up in the conversation this model has been around for a long time and will continue to be around for a long time with the quality that it produces. With the Yamaha YAS275 being played in Eb and coming in a gold finish you just cant beat it. Most of them when you purchase or rent will come with a solid case as well that will protect your instrument from any damage. You can also purchase your own mouthpiece to go with it, but if you’re a beginner make sure you get a beginners mouth piece so you will be able to understand the instrument and learn to play. Overall the Yamaha YAS275 is a great instrument and a great buy at an affordable price that any parent, musician or student can afford. There are no other models buy Yamaha that are cheaper in price but great in quality!

The Yamaha YAS-23 is a standard alto saxophone. It's a beginner - intermediate level saxophone, although it's definitely a high quality one. The YAS-23 has a very study build and feels very secure in your hands. It's body is made out of lacquer, while the keys are nickel plated. I'm definitely not a saxophone expert by any stretch of the imagination, as I'm just starting to pick up the saxophone a bit. I inherited the YAS-23 from my grandfather who recently passed away and I'm just starting to get into it a bit. For a beginner, I'm finding it pretty easy to adjust to the YAS-23, as it feels good to play and isn't very difficult to get a handle on. I used to play the clarinet, so this is a pretty easy transition as far as getting a sound out of the instrument go. I can't speak to how the sound of the YAS-23 would be if a professional were playing it (which would undoubtedly be a lot better than me playing it), but while I'm playing it I'm getting a pretty full sound out of it. I've yet to do any recording with the YAS-23, but I'm pretty confident that the sound will translate well, and hopefully after a couple of years of playing I'll be able to get some stuff to tape. I've read that the YAS-23 is a great student instrument, which I'm sure it is, but it seems to me like it's a great overall instrument for more than just a beginner. The price is very reasonable for a saxophone like this, as Yamaha is able to afford making high quality instruments at these kind of prices since they are the largest musical instrument manufacturer in the world. If you're looking to get into playing the alto saxophone, the Yamaha YAS-23 is just about the perfect instrument to get started with...
