Yamaha YAS-26 Alto Saxophone – Excellent Condition, Freshly Serviced, Perfectly In Tune, Ready to Play, Priced to Sell

Here’s a Yamaha YAS-26 alto in excellent condition and ready to go. The case has slight wear to it, and the horn has a very small dent on the front that doesn’t affect the sound at all. Beyond that, the saxophone is clean and has clearly been well taken care of. It was professionally serviced days prior to listing, is perfectly in tune, and plays really well. The tone is warm and centered with good projection, and it feels comfortable under the fingers. Pitch holds across the range, the keys are regulated properly, the pads seal with no leaks, and the springs have a snappy, lively feel.

The action stays light and even, with no soft spots and no delayed return. It answers cleanly when you play quietly and still stays composed when you put more air through it. The registers stay matched, so nothing feels uneven as you move around the horn. Low notes speak freely and the upper end keeps its core instead of thinning out. That recent service is easy to feel — the saxophone is sealed, settled, and ready.

The YAS-26 is Yamaha’s current standard student alto and the successor to the popular YAS-23. Players like it for solid construction, reliable intonation, and that familiar centered Yamaha sound that works well for school band and developing players. These tend to hold up nicely with regular use, which is why a lot of people keep them longer than they first planned.

Three brand new Vandoren reeds come with it so you can start playing as soon as it arrives. If you’ve been looking for an excellent YAS-26 that’s already been serviced and doesn’t need extra work, this one should put a smile on your face. It’s priced to sell. Message me anytime with questions!
