Beginning saxophone players, particularly children in the upper elementary and middle school grades when band is traditionally offered, need an instrument that is of high enough quality that playing the instrument will rapidly become enjoyable. Yet it's not the best idea to put a high-priced, gold plated instrument in the hands of an 11 or 12-year old. Yamaha understands this, and that's why they make student saxophones that are of high quality and that sound great. Yamaha saxophones for beginners are priced very competitively, too.
Yamaha has been making saxophones since the 1960s. They base their instrument design and manufacturing on the best of vintage instrument characteristics, and combine it with today's technological advancements in manufacturing to get the best of all worlds: great sound, high quality construction, and competitive price. With an instrument of this quality, a beginning sax player is able to focus more of his or her energy on learning to play, rather than worrying about overcoming the shortcomings of a lower quality instrument.
There are a number of reasons why so many people choose to learn to play the saxophone, regardless of age. It is less frustrating to learn to produce a good, rich sound from a saxophone than it is with instruments like the flute, which often sounds "breathy" at first, or the clarinet, with its occasional squeaking. And though saxophones may not be common in orchestras, they are easily one of the best solo instruments around, with a versatility that is rare in a woodwind instrument. A saxophone can front a jazz band, can be part of a rock band, can play blues, classical, or pop music. It has a sound that is widely recognized and loved.
Yamaha is as enthusiastic about its beginner saxophones as a kid is who wants to join the band or learn a solo instrument. And Yamaha saxophones retain their value well, so that when it is time to advance to a higher-end model, they will bring a good trade-in value.
