In gold lacquer, with a high F# key on board, it starts a student on a tenor that will not need replacing once they get good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShaped to be easy to hold\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is laid out to keep the weight balanced and the keys within reach, so a smaller player is not fighting the instrument to get their fingers in place. The adjustable thumb hook fine-tunes that hand position, and a comfortable hold is half the battle in making a tenor speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHigh F# key and front F button\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high F# key extends the written range a semitone past the usual top F, so the student is not caught short when the band chart climbs. The front F button gives an alternate fingering for the upper notes that makes fast passages up there smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e280-style neck with a 4C mouthpiece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 280-style neck is matched to this body so tuning stays steady across the range and a full sound comes without forcing. The 4C mouthpiece is the standard student piece, easy to get a note from and easy for a teacher to adjust with reed choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold lacquer finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold lacquer over the whole instrument gives the traditional look and a surface that a soft cloth keeps clean after a rehearsal. Paired with the adjustable thumb hook and the high F# key, it is the spec most school programs ask for in a first tenor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYTS-280\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eKeys\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKey Buttons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eThumb Hook\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGold lacquer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTenor Saxophone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619633918242,"sku":"YTS280ID","price":3449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/7918-1__89013.1788491561.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790231552","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-yts280-student-tenor-sax-yts-280","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
