It offers a little more resistance than the 280, which gives you something to lean into at volume, and the hand-engraved gold lacquer finish looks the part on a stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e480 style neck\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neck on the YTS-480 is Yamaha's 480 design, a step up from the student neck. It adds a touch of resistance compared with the entry model, which translates into a more solid, projecting sound when you push air through it, and the horn still stays easy to control at low volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHigh F# key and front F key\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high F# key and a front F key are both fitted, so altissimo work and fast upper-register passages use the same fingerings you will find on a professional tenor. Nothing to relearn later, and no workaround fingerings for the top of the horn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeparated key guards and adjustable thumb hook\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key guards on the 480 are separate pieces rather than one long bar, which gives the horn a more flexible response and a more open feel under the fingers. The thumb hook is adjustable, so you can set the right-hand position to suit you and play long sets without cramp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGold lacquer with hand engraving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe YTS-480 is finished in gold lacquer with hand engraving, a detail you do not usually see at this level. A Yamaha 4C mouthpiece is supplied, a sensible medium setup that works for concert band and jazz alike until you settle on your own.\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-480\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\u003e480 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":52619629822242,"sku":"YTS480ID","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/7832-1__19371.1788332272.1280.1280.jpg?v=1790231534","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/yamaha-yts480-intermediate-tenor-sax-yts-480","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
