hi I'm Tom from the brass woodwind
department of better music and today
we're going to be looking at three
affordable student saxophones these are
great saxophones if you're looking to
buy your first saxophone or if you've
got a son or daughter who's been playing
at school for a little while but they
want something that they can own for
themselves we've got three really good
options for you look out today our first
saxophone today is the yamaha y AS 280
this is the standard student saxophone
chances are if you've played a student
saxophone at school this is the one
fairly basic saxophone up it's got
everything you need it does have a high
F sharp key which is pretty helpful when
you get up to that higher note it's also
got a really good octave key method in
the way that the octave key here works
which is really helpful again for that
higher register but all in all it is the
go to standard student saxophone and we
have it at a really great price which
you can see on our website

our next X phone is the odyssey OAS 700
this is a really good saxophone if you
want something that's a bit different to
your standard Yamaha you can see it
comes with a rose gold bronze body which
is different in looks but it also gives
you a slightly more mellow tone it's got
a great engraving but it's not just
aesthetic features it also has some
really nice Italian leather pads on the
keys which are a great way of making
sure the holes closed properly and
giving you a more consistent intonation
so a really good option if you're
looking for something slightly different
to the Yamaha

and our final saxophone today is the
Selma as/400 Selma makes some of the
best saxophones in the world and this is
their student model it's a really good
saxophone you can see it has the rose
gold bronze neck and a graded graving as
well similar to the Odyssey but in
particular we have a great deal on these
ones where you get a Selma C star Parris
mouthpiece that's a $300 professional
mouthpiece that you get with this
saxophone it's the kind of mouthpiece
that will almost certainly outlast even
the saxophone so a really great
investment for someone who's been
playing sax for a while and is looking
to really get something that they can
stick with so the Selma as/400 is a
great show
[Music]

really great options for beginner
saxophones if you've got any questions
