Yamaha's 280 series saxes have built on the success of their predecessors, the 275, with some significant improvements to offer students a high quality instrument for a very reasonable price.

Whilst they are Yamaha's entry level saxes, they are streets ahead of the majority of saxes advertised as equivalents and are the model preferred by teachers throughout the world. They are also ideal for advanced players needing a doubling instrument.

Offering surprisingly high-quality features for their price, they boast durability, good tone, good tuning, easy playability, and perfect consistency.

All Yamaha saxes feature an adjustable thumb hook for comfort and ease of playing.

The attractive new lightweight case is very durable and comes with backpack straps for easy carrying.
