Many saxophonists moving from alto or tenor saxophone find the soprano sax harder to play, the YSS-457 has several features which help to make the transition easier. The 4C mouthpiece supplied with the YSS-475II makes the instrument very free blowing whilst the lightweight body makes it easy to hold. The body is designed to give maximum response and good intonation whilst giving the player optimum tone quality.
