Outstanding performance and quality.
The YTS-26 tenor saxophone is new for 2012, and replaces their best-selling YTS-23 model, which is now discontinued. The YTS-23 had been the de facto standard student tenor saxophone for well over a decade. At first glance, the new YTS-26 appears to be virtually identical to its predecessor, and for the most part the basic design remains unchanged. Yamaha has made no compromises with their new model. Rest assured that the new YTS-26 upholds Yamaha’s reputation for designing instruments that provide outstanding performance, durability, and quality!
Players of all levels.
Intermediate and professional saxophone players should take note of the new YTS-26 tenor saxophone because of the redesigned neck receiver, which allows the standard model instruments to be compatible with all Yamaha saxophone necks, even Yamaha’s professional models. While student players may not see the usefulness of such a utility, this added compatibility is a notable innovation for intermediate and professional saxophone players. Many musicians who own an intermediate or professional instrument find the need for a backup horn for outdoor performances, marching band, and other situations.
