The
Yamaha 480 saxophone is a step ahead. With a little bit more
resistance, it has an authoritative sound yet a great flexibility
due to the separated key guards.
Ergonomics, playability and intonation are excellent as you
would expect from Yamaha. Based on the popular Yamaha 475
Tenor Sax the new Yamaha 480 Tenor Sax features an improved
low B-C# connection for better adjustment while the new octave
key system (from the 62 Series) facilitates the use of custom
necks.
A hand-engraved
pattern on the bell adds an extra touch of class. The redesigned
octave key system gives players the flexibility to choose
between the included 62-style neck and those designed for
the Custom Z and Custom EX Yamaha saxophones (sold separately).
An improved mechanism from low B-C# ensures the consistent
closing of the low C# key and promotes a clear response from
notes in the low range of the instrument. The 62-style neck
has been designed for improved tone and response. The separate
key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style
technical adjustments. The left-hand seesaw key has been designed
to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable
feel.
