For sale: Yamaha YAS-26 Alto Saxophone
The iconic student-to-intermediate model that’s long been the top choice for beginners and developing players alike. Music educators consistently recommend it for its rock-solid construction and outstanding performance straight from the factory.
This particular example is in outstanding, near-mint condition – truly one of the nicest pre-owned YAS-26s out there. It shows almost no signs of wear, with barely a scratch or ding to be found, and the lacquer retains that rich, warm golden Yamaha glow that looks showroom-fresh from every perspective.
It has just undergone a complete professional service and adjustment, so it’s in top mechanical shape and fully prepared for gigs, rehearsals, or band use. The intonation is spot-on throughout the full range, producing Yamaha’s signature warm, centered tone: powerful and round in the low register, even and lyrical through the middle, and beautifully clear up high. The pads seat perfectly with no leaks at all, new corks installed, springs quick and lively, and the action feels effortless and buttery-smooth from low Bb right up to high F#. It responds beautifully whether you’re playing jazz, classical, concert band, or practicing at home.
If you’re searching for a YAS-26 that performs and appears essentially like new but at a used price, look no further. These instruments are built to last forever, and this one has many more years of reliable playing ahead.
Included is the original Yamaha case (also in great shape), along with the mouthpiece, ligature, and a handful of quality reeds so you’re ready to play as soon as it arrives.
