The YAS-26 combines state-of-the-art production expertise with design elements of Yamaha professional and custom saxophones. The result is an entry-level instrument that delivers the response, intonation and tone needed to help developing musicians achieve success. New features include an improved Low B-C# connection. Pro features combined with legendary Yamaha durability make this new saxophone a great choice to start your musical journey.

A redesigned neck receiver promotes a quick response and ease of play while also increasing the durability of the mechanism. All Yamaha saxophones feature an adjustable thumb-rest to allow for precise and comfortable hand and fingering position. 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.

    Plays great, looks great and the quality control is always there. The nice thing about this Yamaha is an updated model. They designed this model to fit other Yamaha necks. Feel free to switch it out for a jazz neck, etc. Can't go wrong. What else is there to say. It's a Yamaha.

    This isn't really a question about buying, but more of a question of selling. I own the exact same saxophone, and has been used since 2019, and is in fair condition. Do yall buy used instruments, and if so, where would I go to ask about the value?
