Yamaha YDS-120 Digital Saxophone

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at saxophone, the Yamaha YDS-120 is an excellent place to start. It’s affordable and very accessible. You can play the YDS-120 anywhere, any time. Late-night sessions without disturbing others? No problem! With 15-step volume adjustment and high-quality samples of 73 instruments, including 56 soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxes, you’re in command — and you’ll always sound great. While not a replacement for acoustic saxophones, the Yamaha YDS-120 is designed to go where no traditional horn can. It runs on USB power or four AAA batteries, so you connect with software or go busking in the park. This innovative instrument blurs the line between organic and synthetic, providing the best of both worlds by delivering Yamaha’s advanced digital sound with the tactile playing feel of familiar sax fingering.
