I have a Yamaha YAS 280 Alto and a Yamaha YTS 280 both regarded as starter Saxes are they good enough for professional use ??
All I want Kev is not to waste money on hyped up professional saxes that to my ear don't sound any different from mine yet command huge prices I just want to play sax and have people enjoy my playing and not have to worry about whether I have top of the range equipmentDepends on whether you want to be known for your playing or your sax. If the sax is a status symbol, then clearly not. But if you just want to play, they're good enough.
Thanks for your reply NickYes.

Shortcut to a bad back
Bloody Hell Colin that would strain Yer Taters Sir
Thank You Colin I'm renting the alto and tenor and now have the option to buy the alto or hand it back love the Yamahas but hope to go out and gig with them in the futureA YAS280 and a YTS280 won't do.
You need a sop and baritone too
I gig Gear4music instruments. Always get paid and have been asked back.
The only criteria for an instrument is that it plays in tune, fits your hands and is reliable.
Don't forget to insure them. They will get knocked over and may get stolen.
Thanks ProffThere must be a huge delta beteween the prices of the Yams and the Jerichos. I would suggest that you also look at Hanson, Jupiter and the Yard Sale!
I would also recommend Stephanhousers and Martins but I don't want to appear pushy!!!Thanks Proff
