【For Ryuu64 Only】YAMAHA Alto Saxophone YAS-380

Thank you for your interest.
This is a YAMAHA Alto Saxophone YAS-380.

Purchased new at the end of 2019 (203,500 yen at the time) by the previous owner, I purchased it in 2023 in almost unused condition and used it for 2 years at a music school. It was adjusted annually by a repair technician. I am selling it because I will be purchasing a higher-end model in August 2025. I had it adjusted again at the time of trade-in, and was told that no pad replacement was necessary. It has since been stored at home with a desiccant.

This is a reliable saxophone for beginners as an entry-level model from Yamaha (there are also comments that its operability is better than the YAS280, but please check the Yamaha HP for details). The mouthpiece is a Yamaha 4C and produces a very good tone.

Accessories are old, so only the cleaning cloth is included. Please purchase swabs and other items separately. The mouthpiece has no scratches and has been cleaned, but please purchase a new one if you are concerned (6390 yen). I will include several unopened types of reeds and mouthpiece patches, so please find the ones that suit you.
The following items will be sent:
Main body (including genuine neck), genuine case, 4C mouthpiece + ligature, standard strap, several reeds, mouthpiece patches, cork grease.
Please note that the stand shown in the photo (3,000-4,000 yen) is not included.

If you are a beginner, I recommend the following accessories for your reference (this is just my personal opinion).
One swab each for large and small, reed case (YAMAHA, 2500 yen), absorbent sheet L (SELMER recommended, 1300 yen), tuner metronome (KORG TM-70, with case, 6000-7000 yen), PAD GUARD (NOMAKI, 1700 yen, prevents pad sticking).
As for instructional books,
Alto Saxophone Beginner's Guide: See, Hear, and Play with Confidence (2200 yen + tax) and Become a Better Saxophonist by Tatsuya Sugawa (1200 yen + tax) are recommended.

Externally, there are scuff marks and a slight dent on the bell (indicated in photo Akamaru), and other signs of use from 2 years of playing. However, the overall appearance is hardly noticeable and does not affect the sound at all. I always took care of it after each use.

Please understand that this is a used item. As it is a precision instrument, it will be carefully packed.
Please experience for yourself how you can produce such a pleasant sound.
