Alto Sax YAS 275 - Superb Condition in Trowbridge, Wiltshire for sale

YAS 275 Saxophones are renowned for being the perfect saxophone for those beginning and those continuing with their development up to Grade 7/8. YAS275's are light, smooth, bright in tone and well built meaning they will last well past intermediate grades, where one would then look to purchase a YAS 62 (£1200 roughly). This is priced slightly higher than others due to its status and how it has been cared for -as important as a cars service history! There are cheaper 275's available online but you just don't know where they have been or the knowledge of who is selling them. Repairs/new pads can be costly if you don't have the right expertise to tell your neck from your bell! Background : I am a Saxophonist, teacher and music graduate so have plenty of experience to recommend this to you. I bought this saxophone roughly a year ago and haven't played it. In great condition plays well and looks gorgeous. A quality instrument with a lovely tone and flexibility, it comes with: Yamaha 4C mouthpiece A Rico Reeds - Strength 2.5 Padded Neckstrap Yamaha Cleaning Cloth EXTRAS Wonderful "velvety" cushioned lining saxophone contoured hard shell carrying case with handles. The worry with cheaper priced saxophones can be:- Not serviced or looked after and prone to pricey repairs! (worn pads etc.) Any dents and scratches can affect tone and playing ability. Don't forget saxophones are specially crafted to the millimetre to get the perfect result. From someone who doesn't know what they are selling and easily mislead the quality and suitability of the instrument for the buyer.
